New technique sheds light on Alzheimer’s and CJD
Researchers using laser light fired at proteins believe they could be close to identifying the molecular architecture that predisposes certain proteins to become ‘corrupted’ and misfold, causing diseases such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and the spongiform encaphalopathies,... view more (2000-11-16)

Key stress protein linked to toxicities responsible for Parkinson's, Alzheimer's
Researchers at the Burnham Institute for Medical Research have discovered a mechanistic link between cellular stress caused by free radicals and accumulation of misfolded proteins that lead to nerve cell injury and death in neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease.   view more (2006-05-25)

Mitochondria play role in pathogenesis of AD and estrogen-induced neuroprotection
As the major source of free radicals in cells, mitochondria contribute to the high levels of oxidative stress believed to play a role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease.   view more (2008-04-07)

Failure to suppress irrelevant brain activity in Alzheimer disease
A study by Alexander Drzezga and colleagues (of the Technical University Munich, Germany) to be published in the international open access journal PLoS Medicine now shows that this focusing process is defective in people with Alzheimer disease (AD).   view more (2005-09-20)
