The kinetics of amyloid beta turnover within human brain is still poorly understood. We previously found a dramatic decline in the turnover of Aβ peptides in normal aging. It was not known if brain ...

A multitude of genes have been linked to the development of Alzheimer's disease. Specifically how those genes might influence the progression of neurodegeneration remains something of a black box ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have developed a technique to noninvasively visualize the brain's waste-removal ...

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulates through the central nervous system, providing mechanical protection, nutrient delivery and metabolic waste clearance. In recent years, the concept of a glymphatic ...

Fighting Alzheimer’s disease is a race against time. By the time most patients are diagnosed and treated, their cognitive symptoms have already advanced significantly. New research, though, pinpoints ...

Scientists at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) have uncovered a non-invasive method to boost the brain's natural waste drainage system—a discovery that could open new avenues for tackling ...

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cognito Therapeutics, a neurotechnology company advancing disease-modifying therapies to treat CNS diseases, today announced the publication of a study in ...

A study linked spontaneous spinal CSF leaks to genetic variants that weaken connective tissue around the spinal cord, ...

Whole-exome sequencing revealed variants in a gene that compromise connective tissue integrity and may increase a person’s ...

Research headed by teams at the University of Rochester Center for Translational Medicine and the University of Copenhagen describes for the first time how a spreading wave of disruption and the flow ...

Researchers at Cedars-Sinai Health Sciences University and Johns Hopkins University have identified genetic mutations that may explain why some people develop a spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) ...
