How brain trauma triggers Alzheimer's disease: Study
Updated : 7 months, 4 weeks ago IST
A study reveals that traumatic brain injury alters the small vessels in the brain, resulting in an accumulation of amyloid beta -- a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. The findings suggest that vascular dysfunction could be an early driver in neurodegenerative disorders rather than being caus

Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
The first 3D human cell culture models of Alzheimer's disease (AD) that exhibit the two main symptoms of the disease—the formation of amyloid beta deposits followed by tau tangles—were created previously. Researchers are now using their model to examine whether the exercise-induced muscle ho
