TITLE: Scientists find a way to fight Alzheimer’s brain damage without removing toxic tau

URL: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/10/261019093355.htm

Scientists have found a promising way to protect the brain from Alzheimer’s-related damage by blocking immune cells that contribute to the destruction of neurons. In mice, the treatment preserved roughly 40% more tissue in memory centers and improved memory, even without removing harmful tau protein buildup.

TITLE: Why some people escape Alzheimer’s despite carrying a high-risk gene

URL: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/10/261018205044.htm

Scientists have discovered why some people with a high genetic risk of Alzheimer’s remain mentally sharp into their 80s, uncovering a rare mutation that protects the brain from harmful protein buildup. The findings reveal a potential new way to prevent early brain damage and could pave the way for treatments that mimic this natural defense.

TITLE: Rare study reveals a striking divide inside an Alzheimer’s patient’s brain

URL: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/10/261013015814.htm

A rare examination of an Alzheimer’s patient’s brain revealed that regions cleared of amyloid plaques had remarkably little of the harmful tau buildup associated with memory loss, while neighboring areas showed extensive damage. The discovery suggests that removing amyloid may have lasting protective effects and could help slow Alzheimer’s progression, especially when treatment begins early.

TITLE: Scientists may have overlooked a hidden Alzheimer's culprit for decades

URL: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/10/261013015838.htm

For decades, scientists have focused on amyloid beta as a major culprit behind Alzheimer’s disease, spending billions of dollars developing treatments that have often delivered disappointing results. Now, researchers at UC Santa Cruz are drawing attention to a largely overlooked peptide called P3 that could also play a role in the disease. Previously believed to be harmless, P3 can form harmful-looking protein clumps even faster than amyloid beta and may also damage brain cells.

TITLE: Scientists found a surprising driver of Alzheimer’s outside the brain

URL: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/09/260925093150.htm

Scientists found that immune cells contributing to Alzheimer’s-related brain damage may be activated in lymph nodes outside the brain before traveling into the nervous system. Blocking this pathway in mice dramatically reduced neurodegeneration and preserved cognitive abilities, pointing to a potentially more accessible treatment target.

💜 This Alzheimer’s & Brain Health Awareness Month, I honor my grandmother, Doña Patria, and the millions of families affected by this disease.

➡️ Progress depends on research, prevention, early diagnosis, and the caregivers who hold everything together.

💜To every caregiver out there: you are seen, you are valued, and you are heroes.

💜 During Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, PCB stands with individuals & families impacted by Alzheimer’s disease.

For people who are blind or low vision, memory loss can add extra challenges to daily life, including orientation, independence, communication & managing routines.

This month reminds us to lead with patience, compassion, accessibility & support.

No one should face these challenges alone.

Sleep Disturbances Signal Potential Dementia Risk

Experts say bad sleep, like insomnia or daytime sleepiness, can be an early sign of dementia. Learn why sleep matters for brain health.

#SleepAndDementia, #AlzheimersAwareness, #BrainHealth, #SleepDisorders, #DementiaRisk

New research shows that poor sleep quality is linked to brain changes seen in dementia. About 15% of older adults with worse sleep developed dementia.

Thank you dear reader for this kind & generous review of Finding the Right Words: A Story of Literature, Grief, & the Brain, the #memoir I wrote with #UCSF #neurologist, Dr. Bruce Miller in honor of my father who died of #early-onset #Alzheimer's. For people interested in reading other books about #dementia, I would recommend #DashaKiper's Travelers to Unimaginable Lands, #SandeepJauhar's My Father's Brain, & #AmyBloom's In Love.

Excited to see the steel mace gaining fans! But did you know it can help older adults through Contralateral Farmer’s Walk.🚶🏾‍♂️

▶️Here’s a past video. At the time of recording my amazing client was 87-year-young and battling Alzheimers.

🎯It's strength training, improves balance, prevents falls, fun & even boosts brain health!

Researchers at the University of Washington have made a significant discovery in the field of Alzheimer's disease. Their findings reveal that immune cells in the brains of individuals suffering from Alzheimer's disease behave differently than those present in healthy brains. This breakthrough has the potential to pave the way for new therapies aimed at improving the lives of those affected by the disease. #AlzheimersAwareness #ResearchBreakthrough #HopeForAD

I haven't kept any of the Memory Seed Bomb paintings. They're not mine, after all; they belong to the memory-holders, not me. So as I work on the installation side of this mail art/guerilla gardening series, I'm painting some new seed bombs to pull it all together. Hence a forget-me-not seed forget-me-not seed bomb. Meta. 😂

Hi Fediverse! I have #CommisionsOpen for a very small, very niche, very FREE run of momento moris. I paint tiny memorials for people lost to Alzheimer's/dementia. Give me a small consumer good that reminds you of your loved one and I will paint it on a paper mache seed bomb full of forget-me-not seeds. Suitable for framing or planting, whatever feels right. I'm taking ten FREE submissions through EOY. Details/form here. http://www.kaseysmith.net/memory-seed-bombs #mastoart #artistsonmastodon #AlzheimersAwareness

I had no idea that Jack Hanna has Alzheimer’s. Here’s an interview from his wife and how they’re living a peaceful life in Montana now.

Have you lost a loved one to Alzheimer's/dementia? I paint unique memento moris designed to celebrate their memories & hold space for their loss. Each is a to-scale, realistic, seed bomb containing forget-me-not seeds. Designed to be planted instead of displayed on a wall or shelf, they're an exercise in remembrance, growth, & letting go. "Commissions" available on my site. http://www.kaseysmith.net/memory-seed-bombs

My first Memory Seed Bomb of 2023. These are hand painted memorials to victims of Alzheimer's, dementia, and other memory disorders. Each represents a simple memory or association someone has with their loved one. Painted on paper mache infused with forget-me-not seeds, they're designed to be planted instead of displayed in a frame. I do these for **FREE** and the commission portal on my site is currently open. http://www.kaseysmith.net/memory-seed-bombs
