UC Santa Barbara researchers and collaborators in Colombia, Brazil and Germany are progressing toward an understanding of mechanisms that underlie Alzheimer’s disease, in particular an early-onset, ...

For the first time, researchers have identified a genetic form of late-in-life Alzheimer’s disease — in people who inherit two copies of a worrisome gene. Scientists have long known a gene called ...

Studies have long shown that if you carry two copies of the apolipoprotein E (APOE) 4 gene, your chances of developing Alzheimer’s disease are much higher. Now, researchers say in a new study that ...

People who carry two copies of the gene mutation most strongly implicated in Alzheimer's disease are almost certain to develop brain changes related to the degenerative disorder, a new study says. A ...
