A Shanghai neurologist discovered a potential Alzheimer's therapy after his 90-year-old mother improved cognitively following ultrasound treatment for a different condition. His trial now tests high-intensity focused ultrasound as a standalone treatment, a promising departure from mainstream research.
Scientists discovered that combining natural compounds found in grapes and berries with existing Alzheimer's drugs could make treatments safer and more effective. The breakthrough could help nearly a million Canadians expected to face dementia by 2030.
SGMC Health in South Georgia becomes the first in the region to offer FDA-approved infusion therapy that slows early Alzheimer's progression. The treatment helps patients maintain independence longer by targeting the disease itself, not just symptoms.
A new biotech company just secured $175 million to develop a promising Alzheimer's treatment that could help millions of families. Korsana Biosciences is joining the fight against dementia with a fresh approach to clearing harmful brain plaques.
Veterans Affairs researchers have developed a simple breathing treatment that flushes harmful proteins from the brain, offering new hope for millions living with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. The 30-minute therapy requires no drugs and could soon help Veterans nationwide.
Scientists discovered that blocking a specific protein helps brain cells clear harmful plaques and improves memory in Alzheimer's models. The breakthrough could lead to combination therapies that slow the disease more effectively than current treatments.
Scientists in China discovered a new way to clear toxic proteins from the brain by targeting a lung receptor, improving memory and learning in mice with Alzheimer's disease. The approach tackles multiple causes of the disease at once, offering fresh hope beyond existing treatments.
Scientists discovered that combining natural molecules from grapes and turmeric with existing drugs treats Alzheimer's more safely and effectively. This breakthrough could help nearly a million Canadians expected to have dementia by 2030.
Scientists discovered that beta-sitosterol, a natural compound in Aloe vera, strongly binds to key enzymes linked to Alzheimer's memory loss. Computer models show the plant compound could help slow cognitive decline, opening new paths for future treatments.
Scientists created the first detailed maps showing how genes control each other in Alzheimer's brains, uncovering hundreds of targets for future treatments. The AI system named SIGNET goes beyond linking genes to revealing which ones actually drive the disease.
Four promising new treatments could reach patients this spring, offering fresh hope for people battling hard-to-treat conditions. From the first-ever medication for a chronic liver infection to an at-home Alzheimer's treatment, these therapies represent real progress for patients who've been waiting.
A newly approved Alzheimer's treatment in Malaysia can slow disease progression by more than eight years, giving patients precious extra time with their independence and loved ones. Unlike previous treatments that only managed symptoms, lecanemab actually changes how the disease progresses.
Scientists are discovering unexpected connections between autism and Alzheimer's disease that could revolutionize how we understand and treat both conditions. What started as implausible hints in medical literature has become a promising new avenue of research.
Scientists have discovered that specialized brain cells called tanycytes act as cleanup crews, removing toxic tau protein before it can cause Alzheimer's disease. When these cells fail, tau builds up in the brain.
Scientists discovered how to activate the brain's natural cleaning system to clear Alzheimer's plaques, opening doors to affordable pill-based treatments. The breakthrough could replace expensive antibody therapies that often cause serious side effects.
Researchers discovered how two key brain proteins might work together to trigger Alzheimer's disease, potentially explaining decades of conflicting research. This breakthrough could redirect treatment efforts toward protecting brain cells rather than just clearing protein buildup.
Scientists discovered that tumors release a protein that actually clears Alzheimer's plaques from the brain, explaining why cancer survivors rarely develop dementia. This breakthrough could lead to treatments that reverse existing damage instead of just slowing it down.
For the first time in history, new drugs can slow Alzheimer's progression by years, not months. Scientists say better diagnosis and funding could turn these promising treatments into a genuine cure.
Researchers finally solved the mystery of how lecanemab, an approved Alzheimer's drug, actually works in the brain. The discovery could lead to safer treatments for the 55 million people living with dementia worldwide.
A physician who lost his job to Alzheimer's disease at 57 is now babysitting his grandson and teaching medical students, thanks to breakthrough treatments. His story shows why early detection must become routine care.
