Scientists have identified damaged brain “cleanup” cells called tanycytes as a possible reason toxic tau builds up in Alzheimer’s disease.

Aging compromises the lymphatic vessels surrounding the brain, disabling waste drainage from the brain and impacting cognitive function. Researchers boosted lymphatic vessel integrity in old mice and ...

A new device that monitors the waste-removal system of the brain may help to prevent Alzheimer s and other neurological diseases, according to a new study. In the study, participants were asleep when ...

A type of brain cell that plays a vital role in maintaining neural networks and repairing injuries lies at the core of a promising new study on Alzheimer's disease from the USF Health Byrd Alzheimer's ...

Scientists now watch and reverse Alzheimer’s brain tangles via fluorescence anisotropy. The analytical tool uses chelators to ...

Poor sleep among older adults is linked to disruptions in the brain’s “waste removal system”, according to researchers at The University of Hong Kong (HKU). A recent study led by Professor Tatia M.C.

Aging compromises the lymphatic vessels (green) in tissue called the meninges (blue) surrounding the brain, disabling waste drainage from the brain and impacting cognitive function. Researchers at ...
