Nanodevices are the newest weapon in medicine’s growing arsenal to fight Alzheimer’s. They capture dangerous peptides before they can assemble to form Alzheimer’s plaques in the brain.
Research shows that lecanemab is the first drug ever to slow cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s. Learn more.
A certain protein in the blood can be used to predict the eventual appearance of Alzheimer’s. Will this allow for early intervention?
Eli Lilly Company’s TRAILBLAZER-ALZ 2 Phase 3 study shows that donanemab significantly slowed cognitive and functional decline in people with early symptomatic Alzheimer’s disease. Learn more.
A new form of Omega-3 has successfully increased DHA in the retina and reduced eye problems associated with Alzheimer’s-like processes.
The AlzoSure® Blood Test can catch Alzheimer’s two years before symptoms appear. Its development could not be more timely. With FDA approval of lecanemab for Alzheimer’s, this accurate and economical screening tool will dramatically assist patients most likely to benefit from early treatment.
BREAKTHROUGH: Researchers have developed a blood test that can predict the risk of future cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s. The test checks levels of a fragment
DIAGNOSIS: A highly sensitive blood test has reached the market that can identify whether it is likely a patient has amyloid plaques in the brain,
PROGRESS: ApoE4 is the best known “Alzheimer’s Gene”. Gladstone Institute scientists successfully changed the gene’s structure. This eliminated certain signs of Alzheimer’s, restored normal cell
People with dementia who were consistently seen by the same General Practitioner (GP) are given fewer medicines and are less likely to be given medicines that can cause problems, according to researchers at University of Exeter. Learn more.
New early-onset Alzheimer’s data show that lecanemab can slow functional decline—even while tau continues to spread in the brain. The research helps explain how amyloid-lowering treatments may still preserve daily life, despite the disease’s complexity.
A deep promise to be there for an Alzheimer’s parent, this heartwarming song was written as a tribute to families facing dementia.
Researchers find that a diet including more fruit, vegetables, beans and tea or coffee lowers the risk of developing dementia later in life. Learn more.
