New research suggests enhancing the brain’s own immune cells could help clear plaques associated with Alzheimer’s disease.

For decades, scientists have focused on amyloid plaques—abnormal clumps of misfolded proteins that accumulate between neurons ...

“Matthew really opened up a new form of epigenetic inheritance,” says Dr. Brent Derry, Eroglu’s supervisor. “He found that amyloids can be inherited, marking a significant discovery in protein-based ...

Scientists have long been racking their brains for ways to treat Alzheimer’s disease, the most common type of dementia.

Northwestern researchers made progress on new biochemical possibilities this week, in both the human brain and everyday ...

Researchers found that peristaltic pump flow mechanically breaks supersaturation to induce amyloid formation by hen egg white lysozyme, a-synuclein, amyloid b 1-40, and b2-microglobulin. The high ...
