For decades, the war against Alzheimer’s disease has been fought on a single front: the aggressive removal of amyloid-β plaques. However, after a string of modest results from drugs targeting these proteins directly, the scientific community is pivoting. The focus is shifting from the “trash” (plaques) to the “janitors”—the microglia—and a new study suggests we … Read more
The fight against Alzheimer’s disease is entering a new phase, one focused on dramatically earlier detection. While recent drug approvals offer a glimmer of hope – slowing the disease’s progression – their efficacy hinges on intervention *before* significant brain damage occurs. Now, a groundbreaking study from Duke University suggests a surprisingly accessible location for identifying … Read more
