Editors’ notes The GIST Add as preferred source Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Potentially more than 90% of Alzheimer’s disease cases would not occur without the contribution of a single gene (APOE), according to a new analysis led by UCL researchers. The scientists also found that close to half of all dementia cases would probably

Credit: Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (2025). DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2504528122 A research group led by Professor Michael Glickman, dean of Technion’s Faculty of Biology, has uncovered a key mechanism in the development of Alzheimer’s.
Researchers show that oral arginine reduces amyloid buildup and neuroinflammation, offering a safe, low-cost therapeutic approach for Alzheimer’s disease Peer-Reviewed Publication Kindai University image: Researchers at Kindai University have discovered that oral administration of arginine, a naturally occurring amino acid, can suppress amyloid β (Aβ) aggregation and alleviate neurological symptoms in animal models of Alzheimer’s

As shown, the brain surface on the left (microglia non-reactive group) appears blank, whereas the right panel (microglia reactive group) displays multiple significant blue regions, indicating this association.
