While there’s no cure, treatment can help slow progression. Amyloidosis occurs when amyloid proteins buildup in the body. Several types of amyloid proteins can build up, resulting in different ...

New research offers hope for delaying Alzheimer’s disease progression by years after initial diagnosis. Alzheimer’s disease is a leading cause of death among those aged 65 or older. As the most common ...

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) is one of the first responders to DNA damage and plays crucial roles in recruiting DNA repair proteins through its activity – poly(ADP-ribosyl ... Functionally, ...

Diagnosis and monitoring of sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD) have long depended on clinical examination of individuals with end-stage disease. However, upcoming anti-AD therapies are optimally ...

Many of these treatments aim to modify the disease process itself. One of the hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease is protein plaques that form between brain cells, made of beta-amyloid fragments. These ...
