Alzheimer's
Toxic alliance of proteins may trigger Alzheimer's disease
Researchers at Rockefeller University have identified a harmful interaction between amyloid beta and fibrinogen that forms stubborn clots, damaging brain blood vessels and sparking inflammation even at low concentrations. This complex disrupts the blood-brain barrier and leads to early signs of neurodegeneration. The findings suggest a new target for early intervention in Alzheimer's disease.
Keto diet shows brain health benefits in female mice with Alzheimer's risk gene
Researchers at the University of Missouri have found that a high-fat, low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet improves gut bacteria and brain energy levels in female mice carrying the APOE4 gene, a major risk factor for Alzheimer's disease. The study highlights gender-specific effects, with males showing no similar benefits. These findings suggest potential for personalized nutrition to prevent cognitive decline.
Northwestern study uncovers why superagers retain youthful memories
Researchers at Northwestern University have spent 25 years studying SuperAgers—people over 80 with memories as sharp as those 30 years younger—revealing key brain traits that resist cognitive decline. Their findings, published in a new perspective article, highlight two protective mechanisms against Alzheimer's-related damage and emphasize the role of social connections. The work could lead to new strategies for preventing dementia.
New method detects Alzheimer's early using AI brain scans
AI द्वारा रिपोर्ट किया गया
Scientists have developed an innovative AI-based imaging technique that identifies Alzheimer's disease up to a decade before symptoms emerge. The approach analyzes subtle changes in brain structure from routine MRI scans. This breakthrough, published on October 2, 2025, could transform early intervention strategies.
