Newest studies

Every summary in our library, newest first, as a dated timeline.

What "newest" means here

The most recent study in this library is dated 2026-11-01 (Paths of Aging Minds: Health Journeys of Older Adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment). This is our summary library, not a news wire — it is added to in batches, so the newest entry may not be the newest paper published anywhere.

Entries are sorted strictly by publication date, newest first. 26489 of the 27380 entries carry a full day-level date. 65 have no date recorded at all and are placed by publication year, at the start of that year; those are marked "no date recorded" below so you can see where the ordering is a best effort rather than a fact.

    Astrocytic cytoskeletal atrophy in the medial prefrontal cortex of a triple transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed Biomarkers Journal of Anatomy

    Key finding: Here, we analysed the astrocytic cytoskeletal changes within the mPFC of a triple transgenic mouse model of AD (3 × Tg-AD) by measuring the surface area and volume of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)-positive profiles in relation to the build-up and presence of amyloid-β (Aβ), and compared the results with those found in non-transgenic control animals at different ages. 3 × Tg-AD animals showed clear astroglial cytoskeletal atrophy, which appeared at an early age (3 months; 33% and 47% decrease in GFAP-positive surface area and volume, respectively) and remained throughout the disease progression at 9, 12 and 18 months old (29% and 36%; 37% and 35%; 43% and 37%, respectively). +1 more finding
