It may be possible to restore memory function in Alzheimer’s disease
In a recent study, researchers found a new approach to Alzheimer's disease (AD) that may eventually make it possible to reverse memory loss, a...
Alzheimer ‘tau’ protein far surpasses amyloid in predicting brain damage
In a new study, researchers found that brain imaging of pathological tau-protein "tangles" reliably predict the location of future brain atrophy in Alzheimer's patients...
This prostate cancer treatment linked to Alzheimer’s disease
In a new study, researchers found that older prostate cancer patients who received a hormone-blocking treatment may have a higher risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
