Rumer Willis' genetic testing is spotlighting how different forms of dementia have varying chances of being inherited. Here ...

One of the hallmarks of the brain of an individual with Alzheimer disease is the accumulation of amyloid-beta peptide (A-beta), something that is believed to be toxic to many brain cells (specifically ...

An international team of researchers led by Michael E. Belloy, Ph.D., an assistant professor of neurology and psychiatry at ...

Alzheimer’s disease may be inherited more often than previously known, according to a new study that paints a clearer picture of a gene long known to be linked to the common form of dementia. The ...

Potentially more than 90% of Alzheimer’s disease cases would not occur without the contribution of a single gene (APOE), according to a new analysis led by UCL researchers. The scientists also found ...

This article is the eighth installment in my series on Alzheimer’s disease. Read more about Alzheimer’s disease in part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, part 6, and part 7 of the series. If you are ...

A new study suggests how APOE2 is protective while APOE4 increases disease risk by regulating the brain's immune cells. A new study, published today in Nature Communications, offers clues into how ...
