Mice with late-stage symptoms showed improvement in memory loss and reduced brain plaque after experimental treatment, Chinese study finds.

Chinese Study Links Brain Glucose Levels to Alzheimer’s Progression

For decades, Alzheimer’s research has largely revolved around one culprit: toxic protein buildups in the brain, especially amyloid-beta plaques. While that approach has delivered modest progress, it has also left major gaps, particularly for women and patients in late stages of the disease. Now, a research team in China is testing a different idea. Instead of starting with plaques, they’re asking a more basic question: What if the Alzheimer’s br…
