New research from the University of Liège finds that middle-aged folks with more nighttime micro-awakenings may have a higher genetic risk for Alzheimer's - so those 3 a.m. wake-ups might be your brain's way of dropping hints.

New research reveals APOE4, the Alzheimer's risk gene, wreaks havoc on brain cells early via protein Nell2 - but lowering it in mice reverses the damage, offering a glimmer of hope.
ScienceDaily
Stanford scientists find that immune cells from the body flood into the aging brain, transforming into microglia - a uniquely human quirk that could lead to new treatments for neurological diseases.

Hormone therapy later in life might keep Alzheimer's at bay, but the study's authors are quick to say: don't rush to your doctor just yet.

Kay Granger, the first Republican woman from Texas in the House, dies at 83 after a battle with Alzheimer's, leaving a legacy of barrier-breaking and budget-cutting.
ScienceDaily
Researchers find that Alzheimer’s resilience isn’t just about dodging plaques - it’s about how your brain’s immune cells decide to behave. Two paths, one goal: staying sharp past 100.

Johns Hopkins grows mini-brains from Alzheimer's patients, doses them with antidepressants, and finds that - surprise - different brains react differently. Personalized medicine, one organoid at a time.
BBC World
Indian scientists create a staggeringly detailed 3D map of the brainstem, letting doctors zoom from MRI to individual neurons - because apparently our brains have been operating on vague directions until now.
ScienceDaily
Tau protein, long blamed for Alzheimer's, turns out to be the brain's memory organizer - without it, memories are fleeting and flaky.
ScienceDaily
Scientists discover karyoptosis, a new way brain cells die in Alzheimer’s and FTD, involving nucleus shriveling - and they might have found a molecular off switch.
ScienceDaily
Glucosamine, the go-to joint supplement, may help your knees but could be fast-tracking your brain to dementia - because apparently nothing comes without a catch.
The Guardian
Veteran news anchor Jon Snow reveals Alzheimer's diagnosis in a documentary, proving that even after 32 years of breaking news, he's still finding ways to break taboos.
ScienceDaily
Stanford researchers find that aging brains suffer from protein production traffic jams, offering a new explanation for cognitive decline and potential targets for Alzheimer's treatment.
ScienceDaily
New study finds CBD may calm brain inflammation linked to Alzheimer's, offering a multitarget approach - though mice are the ones getting high for now.
ScienceDaily
New study finds Alzheimer's risk factors hit women harder than men, suggesting that 'living longer' isn't the whole story - hypertension, hearing loss, and diabetes might be the real party poopers.
ScienceDaily
Scientists zap Alzheimer's in mice with nanoparticles that fix the brain's plumbing, proving once again that mice have better healthcare than most humans.
ScienceDaily
Researchers find that eating eggs regularly may reduce Alzheimer's risk by up to 27%, but remind you that adding bacon doesn't count as a brain food.
ScienceDaily
Researchers find that a cheap, over-the-counter amino acid might help slow Alzheimer's, because sometimes the answer was in your protein shake all along.
ScienceDaily
Baylor researchers discover that boosting a protein called Sox9 turns the brain's support cells into amyloid-plaque-eating vacuum cleaners, preserving memory in Alzheimer's mouse models.
ScienceDaily
Cold Spring Harbor researchers find that blocking PTP1B protein helps mice remember things, potentially offering a new Alzheimer's strategy that doesn't just target plaque.
