Individuals with a genetic predisposition to Alzheimer's disease show altered blood levels indicating damaged neuronal contacts as early as 11 years before the expected onset of dementia symptoms.

Researchers have discovered a new way that neurons act in neurodegeneration by using human neural organoids -- also known as 'mini-brain' models -- from patients with frontotemporal lobar degeneration ...

and eye imaging results to better understand the causes of dry age-related macular degeneration (dry AMD), a leading cause of vision loss. This approach led the biotech to the in-house discovery ...

With wet AMD, abnormal blood vessels grow under the macula. The wet form of age-related macular degeneration can start suddenly. You won’t feel pain, but you might notice vision problems.
