Single-cell transcriptomic analysis of Alzheimer's disease
Alzheimer's disease is a pervasive neurodegenerative disorder, the molecular complexity of which remains poorly understood. Here, we analysed 80,660 single-nucleus transc …

A study suggested that PET imaging of tau tangles in the brain could be a way to track development of Alzheimer’s disease, predict loss of brain tissue, and assess new treatments.
Exercise and new nerve cell growth in Alzheimer’s disease
In a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease, access to exercise stimulated the growth of new nerve cells in the brain and reduced memory problems. The findings pave the way for studies in people.
Blood tests show promise for early Alzheimer’s diagnosis
Blood levels of a protein called ptau217 were associated with damage to the brain caused by Alzheimer’s disease, and may one day help diagnose disease before symptoms appear.
