A team of scientists in the UK has claimed to have found the reason behind brain cell death which leads to Alzheimers, offering hope for a future new line of drugs which could cure the disease.

The buildup of amyloid plaques between neurons and the formation of tangles of tau form, a molecule called MEG3 is produced by the brain cells resulting in cellular suicide.

A groundbreaking study in the Science medical journal has revealed that the brain cells of those afflicted with Alzheimer's are killing themselves by inflammatory suicide

A team of scientists has managed to prevent neuronal death with oral drugs administered to rodents that have been genetically modified to imitate dementia

Discovery of how neurons die by dementia researchers ‘paves the way for new treatments to stop disease progression in the future’

A breakthrough in Alzheimer's research has finally answered the question scientists have been asking for years. Scientists have discovered how brain cells die when people develop Alzheimer's, a study published in Science revealed.

A team of researchers from Britain and Belgium has connected the abnormal proteins that build up in the brain with necroptosis - a form of cellular suicide.

A major study published in JAMA led by experts from the Karolinska Institute indicates that spontaneous brain hemorrhage might be transferrable through blood transfusion. However, the likelihood of someone experiencing a brain hemorrhage after a blood donation is extremely low. Cerebral amyloid a

An Alzheimer’s drug that attacks the protein amyloid does not work as well in people with more advanced disease

Alzheimers patient has one. theres another hurdle. donanemab has potentially serious side effects. it can cause swelling and bleeding in the brain, so patients will need to be aware of the risks and be carefully monitored. but despite safety concerns, there will be huge demand for this new drug, which mike will continue to receive as long as it helps him. after decades of failed trials, the era of alzheimers treatment is upon us. so important to so many families out there. we can speak now to ba...
