Alzheimer’s isn’t just about memory loss—it’s a slow shutdown of the brain’s wiring. For years, scientists have tried to fix this by sending treatments directly to the brain, but the organ’s defenses make it nearly impossible. The tricky part? Most drugs can’t cross the brain’s protective barrier, w
Alzheimer’s disease is not just about sticky plaques and tangled fibers. Scientists now see that tiny changes in proteins—called post‑translational modifications or PTMs—play a big part in the brain’s decline. These chemical tweaks can make proteins misbehave, spark inflammation, damage connec
Center in the Square is making room for something fresh. They're saying goodbye to the science museum that's been there for years. This move is part of a bigger plan to shake things up and bring in new experiences. The science museum had its time, but now it's time to make way for something differe
Alzheimer's disease is often seen as something that affects older people. But in 2022, doctors in China diagnosed a 19-year-old with this condition. This makes him the youngest person ever to get this diagnosis. Normally, Alzheimer's is linked to older age. But sometimes, it can happen to people un
Alzheimer's disease is a big problem. It affects many people. But, there's a lack of research on Asian communities. To fix this, the Asian Cohort for Alzheimer's Disease (ACAD) Study is stepping in. They aim to recruit over 5000 participants. These participants must be of Asian descent and aged 60 o
Alzheimer's disease is a complex condition that needs a well-rounded approach to manage it effectively. Two strategies that have shown promise are regular aerobic exercise and intermittent fasting. However, the potential benefits of combining these two—exercising in a fasted state—have not been thor
Alzheimer's disease is a complex puzzle. One key piece? Tiny powerhouses in our cells called mitochondria. These little guys usually help cells stay alive and healthy. But in Alzheimer's, they're not working right. Why? Because calcium, a crucial messenger in cells, is out of balance. Calcium is li
Alzheimer's disease is a big deal. It's the most common type of dementia, and it's tough to diagnose and treat. One of the main problems is that scientists don't have great tools to see what's happening inside the brain. Specifically, they want to track two things: amyloid-β plaques and hypochlorous
Alzheimer's disease is a growing concern, with numbers expected to rise sharply in the coming decades. Currently, around 7. 2 million people in the United States live with this condition. The situation is not just about aging populations; air pollution and climate change are also playing a significa
Alzheimer's disease is a big problem. It messes with the brain, causing memory loss and other issues. Scientists are always looking for ways to slow it down or even stop it. A recent study looked at two things that might help: a natural compound called Ecdysterone and high-intensity interval trainin
