Alzheimer’s-affected brains are riddled with so-called amyloid plaques: protein aggregates consisting mainly of amyloid-beta. However, this amyloid-beta is a fragment produced from a precursor protein
An inter-disciplinary research team has successfully employed machine learning to uncover new insights into the cellular architecture of the human brain. This approach could potentially
Researchers have uncovered part of the explanation for why poor sleep is linked to Alzheimer’s disease. They found that older people who have less slow-wave
Research in mice finds a new molecular mechanism that is essential for maturation of brain function and may be used to restore plasticity in aged
Researchers report that the fungus Candida albicans can cross the blood-brain barrier and trigger an inflammatory response that results in the formation of granuloma-type structures
