Whole blood exchange may help treat Alzheimer’s disease
Scientists from UTHealth Houston found that a novel, disease-modifying therapy for Alzheimer's disease may involve the whole exchange of blood, which effectively decreased the...
Improving blood vessel health in the brain may help treat Alzheimer’s
In patients with Alzheimer's disease, amyloid-beta protein fragments accumulate in the tissue and blood vessels of the brain, likely due to a faulty clearance...
Brain inflammation may link Alzheimer’s risk, sleep loss
