Researchers have identified a new process, 'chronoferroptosis', where excess iron in neurons reduces their resilience to stress, increasing vulnerability to neurodegenerative diseases. This discovery highlights iron accumulation as a critical target for predicting, preventing, and treating conditions like Alzheimer's.
A new study reveals that obesity-related changes in body fat can disrupt brain signals and immune function, potentially worsening Alzheimer's disease.
A US study has revealed three trajectories of cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease -- stable, slow decline, and fast decline -- based on scans of over 1,100 people with elevated amyloid protein levels.
A new study suggests that damage to the brain's white matter can trigger features often associated with neurodegenerative diseases, such as inflammation in the grey matter.
