The identification of a protein important for insulin synthesis may hold clues for understanding the pathogenesis of diabetes.

The ways certain proteins spread may help explain why the prevalence of Alzheimer’s is higher in women than in men.

Brain ascorbate — vitamin C — is important for protecting the brain against seizures and cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease.

Detecting the neuropathology underlying cognitive impairment by lead to new targeted therapies.

The cognitive impairment that affects patients who survive a stay in the ICU does not appear to have a similar mechanism to Alzheimer’s disease, Vanderbilt researchers have discovered.

Recent findings suggest that vitamin C deficiency could contribute to Alzheimer’s disease, suggesting that avoiding deficiency through diet and supplementation could protect against disease onset.

Clinicians should use a structured interview in people with Alzheimer’s disease to identify pain that might be otherwise overlooked.
