For the first time, scientists say, they have evidence that using a biologic drug to remove sticky beta amyloid plaques from ...

Delve into how the biotech industry is pivoting from the amyloid hypothesis to find new Alzheimer's disease treatments.

For years, researchers primarily focused their attention on another protein, beta-amyloid, as the cause of Alzheimer's. While ...

There's still so much we don't know about Alzheimer's disease, but the link between poor sleep and worsening disease is one ...

The researchers have been testing amyloid-removing therapies ... with sticky plaques made from beta amyloid proteins and toxic tangles made of a protein called tau. They theorized that removing ...

A recent study revealed that an experimental blood test for Alzheimer’s disease not only can help in accurate diagnosis but ...

An illustration depicts cells in an Alzheimer’s-affected brain, with abnormal levels of beta amyloid protein clumping together to form plaques that collect between neurons and disrupt cell function.

Although there are many outstanding questions about Alzheimer’s and a significant lack of effective drugs, scientists believe a protein called amyloid-beta plays an important role in the condition.

Those findings were integrated with data collected from the participants on cerebrospinal fluid and brain-scan biomarkers of amyloid- β and tau protein, cognitive function, age, sex and Alzheimer ...
