Alzheimer’s disease affects hundreds of thousands of Texans, and its impact extends far beyond those living with the disease.

Today, an estimated 459,300 Texans age 65 and older are living with Alzheimer’s, while 1,287,000 family members and friends provide care and support. Together, these caregivers contribute 1.9 billion hours of unpaid care each year.

Behind every statistic is a person, a family, and a community navigating the challenges of Alzheimer’s and other dementias.

Alzheimer’s Texas is here to support Texans living with Alzheimer’s and related diseases and the caregivers who care for them through education, resources, and support programs across the state.

New research from Baylor College of Medicine is shedding light on how the brain may have a built-in ability to help protect itself from Alzheimer’s disease.

Scientists found that increasing a protein called Sox9 may enhance the activity of astrocytes: star-shaped support cells in the brain responsible for maintaining brain health and clearing waste.

Rather than focusing solely on preventing plaque formation, this research suggests a different approach: strengthening the brain’s own support system to help remove existing damage.

While these findings are still in early stages and limited to animal models, they add to growing research exploring how the brain’s immune and support cells may play a role in future Alzheimer’s treatments.

At Alzheimer’s Texas, we remain committed to sharing emerging research and advancing awareness around the science shaping tomorrow’s care.
