Scientists may have found a way to stop Alzheimer’s damage before it starts — by “melting” the tiny protein clumps that are the early triggers of the disease. Alzheimer’s has long been linked to ...

New research suggests Alzheimer’s may start far earlier than previously thought, driven by a hidden toxic protein in the brain. Scientists found that an experimental drug, NU-9, blocks this early ...

Researchers are reporting that an existing drug can roll back key signs of Alzheimer’s disease in mice, restoring memory performance and easing brain pathology in animals that already show symptoms.

A team of Mayo Clinic scientists have created a way to estimate a person’s risk of developing memory and thinking problems long before symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease begin, potentially changing how ...

Scientists at Northern Arizona University are developing a promising new way to detect Alzheimer’s disease earlier than ever before—by tracking how the brain uses sugar. Using tiny particles in the ...

A University of Miami team conducted research that might create more effective treatments for Alzheimer’s disease and perhaps lead ‘to a cure,’ UM said. Branimir76 Getty Images/iStockphoto In a new ...

Novo Nordisk won't add Alzheimer's disease to the list of conditions its blockbuster diabetes and weight-loss drugs, Ozempic and Wegovy, can treat, despite high hopes and two years of study. The ...

A protein that has long frustrated diabetes researchers is suddenly at the center of a very different fight. By targeting an enzyme called protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B, or PTP1B, scientists are ...

Increasing physical activity in midlife or later may reduce the chances of developing dementia by up to 45%, according to a recent study published in JAMA Network Open. Researchers at the Boston ...

A new blood test can predict when symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease may start — helping those affected begin preventative treatment more quickly. Researchers found that a single blood test measuring ...

A new study conducted by Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis researchers found that a single blood test could predict when someone is likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease. The study ...
