A group of Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) investigators is proposing that targeting immune checkpoints — molecules that regulate the activity […] It may be possible in the future to screen patients for Alzheimer’s disease using an eye exam. Using technology similar […] About 50 percent of people who reach the age of 85 will develop Alzheimer’s disease. Most will die within about […] Building on their development of the first culture system to replicate fully the pathology behind Alzheimer’s disease, a Massachusetts General […] Driving is a complex task that involves perceptual, motor and cognitive abilities. These abilities may be affected in early Alzheimer […] Ultrasound waves applied to the whole brain improve cognitive dysfunction in mice with conditions simulating vascular dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
