TITLE: "Mind-blowing" Alzheimer’s breakthrough: Two hours of sleep restored without clearing brain plaques

URL: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/10/261018084421.htm

Scientists have uncovered an unexpected culprit behind sleep loss in Alzheimer’s disease: overactive immune cells in the brain. By temporarily removing these cells, researchers restored more than two hours of sleep per day in mice, revealing a promising new target for treatment.

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: Scientists find a youth protein that helps aging brain cells act young again

URL: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/10/261016070646.htm

Scientists have discovered that a protein linked to youth helps protect the brain’s immune cells from age-related decline. Restoring the protein in older mice improved the cells’ ability to clear debris and reduced signs of inflammation, raising hopes for future treatments targeting brain aging and Alzheimer’s disease.
