Amyloids are typically associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Huntington's and Parkinsons. They form tightly packed, highly stable "detrimental" protein fibers that destroy ...

Researchers studying nearly 2 million older adults found that cerebral amyloid angiopathy sharply raises the risk of ...

For some time, we've known that it's rare to see people with both cancer and Alzheimer's disease. Now, scientists believe ...

A hidden protein buildup in brain blood vessels may quietly quadruple dementia risk—often without a stroke as warning.

Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a condition where protein (called amyloid) builds up in the brain, making blood vessels weak. People with CAA are four times more likely to develop dementia within ...

A recent study led by a team of researchers at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine examining aging mice has provided what is believed to be the first evidence that amyloid beta ...

Discover how amyloid proteins help form long-term memories according to new research from the Stowers Institute.

Researchers found that a good night’s sleep may help the brain clear proteins tied to Alzheimer’s. For years, sleep has been framed as a basic pillar of good health. New research suggests it could be ...

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

Amyloid beta is a peptide that plays a central role in the neurodegenerative pathology of Alzheimer’s disease by aggregating into plaques in the brain. U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved ...

Why some memories persist while others vanish has fascinated scientists for more than a century. Now, new research from the ...
