A new study led by researchers from VIB and KU Leuven shows that immune cells called microglia can actively promote the formation of plaques in Alzheimer's disease, challenging the long-standing view ...
When the digestive system fails to absorb fructose, the lingering sugar disrupts the gut microbiome. A recent study reveals this bacterial shift sparks low-grade, body-wide inflammation that can alter ...

A growing body of research points to chronic, low-grade inflammation inside the brain as a possible accelerant of Alzheimer’s disease, not just a bystander response to damage already done. The 2024 ...
Scientists have developed a promising new approach to treating Alzheimer’s disease by turning ordinary brain cells into powerful plaque-clearing machines. Instead of requiring frequent antibody ...
Texas Researchers just found a direct link between bad sleep and Alzheimer's. When your rhythm is off, your brain cells stop cleaning out debris.
Until now, conventional 3D cell cultures have often been either too rigid or too unstable to realistically reproduce the ...
When we learn a new motor skill-whether mastering a piano passage or refining balance while walking-the brain must reorganize the circuits that ...
In recent years, scientists around the world have been working hard to better understand mental health conditions such as autism, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer’s disease. These conditions affect how ...
Age is the single greatest risk factor for neurodegenerative disease, yet the cellular mechanisms that drive age-related protein accumulation in the brain remain incompletely understood. In ...
The new generation of Alzheimer's disease drugs - the first proven to change the course of the disease - typically extend independent living for patients by 10 months. Called monoclonal antibodies, ...
Neuropathic pain is a devastating type of pain that significantly reduces the quality of life of affected people.
