Alzheimer's Disease Research

Alzheimer's Disease research focuses on understanding a complex brain disorder that leads to memory loss and cognitive decline. Scientists study how abnormal proteins, such as amyloid-beta and tau, accumulate in the brain, disrupting its function. They explore genetic and environmental risk factors, aiming to identify early signs and develop effective treatments. Current efforts include testing new medications, improving diagnostic tools, and investigating lifestyle changes that might prevent or delay the onset of the disease. The goal is to enhance quality of life for those affected and ultimately find a cure.
