From Dr. Alois Alzheimer’s first observations of brain plaques in 1906 to their identification as amyloid-β in the 1980s, a century of research has brought us closer to understanding and treating this complex condition. Milestones along the way like the discovery of genetic risk factors and blood biomarkers have opened new pathways for research and potential therapies. Despite these breakthroughs, Alzheimer’s disease remains one of the greatest challenges in neuroscience. This Nature Milestones timeline offers a snapshot of the most pivotal moments in Alzheimer’s research. For a more detailed look at over a century of progress, including experimental treatments and ongoing discoveries, explore the full timeline here: https://lnkd.in/eVDR9TFV
