New research shows that a weekly exercise routine may hinder the onset of Alzheimer’s symptoms. Participating in 150 minutes of exercise a week—just 2.5…
What would you do if you found out you had a near-certain chance of developing Alzheimer’s? And how would it affect your life if…
In a recent study, researchers explore ways to predict people’s 10-year risk of developing dementia. Dementia has a silent beginning, according to most scientists….
There might be a lot of unknowns when it comes to Alzheimer’s—why it forms, or why certain people get it—but most scientists agree that…
Researchers suggest that brain glucose and ketones may be involved in ApoE’s connection with Alzheimer’s. We know that people with a certain gene called…
We talk to Dr. Nathaniel Chin, Director of Medical Services at the Wisconsin Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center, about what the current research says about…
Have you ever met someone in their 80s, or even 90s, who could recall facts faster than a Google search engine? Those people, according…
We talk to Jamie Tyrone, who has two copies of the Apoe4 gene, putting her at greatly elevated risk of Alzheimer’s disease. She tells…
Researchers find novel genetic factors that are linked with Alzheimer’s in hopes of tailoring strategies to reduce people’s risk of developing the disease. Scientists…
Researchers study fruit flies for ways to manipulate certain enzymes and improve Alzheimer’s symptoms. Could the cure for Alzheimer’s be unlocked by studying fruit…
The Alzheimer’s clinical trial success rate isn’t pretty: A 99.6 percent failure rate means there are only four approved drugs to treat Alzheimer’s on…
Alzheimer’s expert John Hardy shares his insights on the amyloid hypothesis, and the roadmap of developing individualized Alzheimer’s care. It’s no secret that Alzheimer’s…
Decades of research on genetics has revealed some possible reasons for why Alzheimer’s develops in some brains and not others. We know that chances…
We know that the greatest risk for Alzheimer’s is age–the older you get, the higher your risk of developing the disease. One in ten…
Contrary to what we know about heart health and dementia, a new study suggests that high cholesterol is linked to better brain health in…
