Mount Sinai researchers discover novel mechanisms that might causally link type-2 diabetes to Alzheimer's disease
A recent study by Mount Sinai faculty suggests that a gene associated with onset of type-2 diabetes also decreases in Alzheimer's disease dementia cases. view more (2009-04-13)
Slowing Alzheimer's disease by keeping mind and body active
Researchers have uncovered the pathways behind the protection offered by environmental stimulation in Alzheimer's disease, further confirming that enhanced mental and physical activity slows neurological decline. view more (2006-07-25)
Alzheimer's gene identified: study
An international effort led by scientists at the University of Toronto, Columbia University and Boston University has isolated another gene responsible for Alzheimer's disease. view more (2007-01-15)
Mount Sinai researchers find new Alzheimer's disease treatment promising
Researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine have found that a compound called NIC5-15, might be a safe and effective treatment to stabilize cognitive performance in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. view more (2009-07-13)
Breakdown of Myelin Implicated in Alzheimer's, UCLA Research Shows
Wisdom comes with age (doesn't it?), but not without a process that takes place in the brain called myelination. Myelin is the fatty sheath that coats the axons of the nerves, allowing for efficient conduction of nerve impulses. view more (2007-05-14)
A Global Response to HIV / Statins Protect Against Alzheimer Disease
A comprehensive response to HIV could prevent 10 million AIDS deaths in Africa by 2020 One of the most urgent problems in HIV/AIDS policy is in deciding how best to allocate resources toward preventing new infections or treating infected individuals. An analysis by Joshua Salomon and colleagues in the premier open-access journal PLoS... view more... (2005-01-04)
Scientists develop new treatments for Alzheimer's disease
Scientists at the University of Liverpool have created a new chemical compound that could be developed into a drug treatment for Alzheimer's disease. view more (2006-10-27)
Gold nanoparticles, radiation combo may slow Alzheimer's
Chemists in Chile and Spain have identified a new approach for the possible treatment of Alzheimer's disease that they say has the potential to destroy beta-amyloid fibrils and plaque - hypothesized to contribute to the mental decline of Alzheimer's patients. view more (2006-01-05)
Stress significantly hastens progression of Alzheimer's disease
Stress hormones appear to rapidly exacerbate the formation of brain lesions that are the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease, according to researchers at UC Irvine. view more (2006-08-30)
Blood stem cell growth factor reverses memory decline in mice
A human growth factor that stimulates blood stem cells to proliferate in the bone marrow reverses memory impairment in mice genetically altered to develop Alzheimer's disease, researchers at the University of South Florida and James A. Haley Hospital found. view more (2009-07-02)
Scientists identify new strategy for preventing acute and chronic brain disease
Scientists at the Gladstone Institute of Neurological Disease (GIND) have discovered that reducing levels of the protein tau can prevent seizures and neurological deficits related to Alzheimer's disease. view more (2007-05-04)
Caffeine reverses memory impairment in Alzheimer's mice
Coffee drinkers may have another reason to pour that extra cup. When aged mice bred to develop symptoms of Alzheimer's disease were given caffeine - the equivalent of five cups of coffee a day - their memory impairment was reversed. view more (2009-07-06)
Case Western Reserve University researchers find protein associated with brain cell death
Neuroscientists at the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine have found evidence of which protein in the brain's immune cells triggers a cascade of reactions that produces unregulated free radical production that eventually leads to the neural cell death found in Alzheimer's disease. view more (2006-07-19)
Alzheimer's research yields potential drug target
Scientists at UC Santa Barbara and several other institutions have found laboratory evidence that a cluster of peptides may be the toxic agent in Alzheimer's disease. Scientists say the discovery may lead to new drugs for the disease. view more (2009-07-02)
Protein changes in heart strengthen link between Alzheimer's disease and chronic heart failure
A team of U.S., Canadian and Italian scientists led by researchers at Johns Hopkins report evidence from studies in animals and humans supporting a link between Alzheimer's disease and chronic heart failure, two of the 10 leading causes of death in the United States. view more (2009-11-16)
Researchers find 2 more genetic risk factors for Alzheimer's disease
An international team of scientists has identified two more genetic risk factors for Alzheimer's disease. The findings are reported in the online edition of the journal Nature Genetics. view more (2009-09-08)
Diabetes drug shows promise in treating Alzheimer's
Treatment of high blood sugar may have a scientific connection to memory loss that could, one day, benefit millions of people with Alzheimer's Disease, which affects up to 4.5 million older Americans, bringing with it impaired thinking and memory. view more (2006-07-18)
Mutant proteins result in infectious prion disease in mice
A worldwide group of scientists has created an infectious prion disease in a mouse model, in a step that may help unravel the mystery of this progressive disease that affects the nervous system in humans and animals. view more (2008-12-08)
Intake of dietary copper helps Alzheimer's patients
As one of the services for patients with Alzheimer's disease, the Department of Psychiatry at the Saarland University Medical Center offers participation in a clinical phase II trial. This clinical trial aims to elucidate a potential beneficial effect of copper orotate (an organic copper salt), which is given together with a standard... view more... (2005-10-04)
Vaccine thwarts the tangles of Alzheimer's
A new study by NYU Medical Center researchers shows for the first time that the immune system can combat the pathological form of tau protein, a key protein implicated in Alzheimer's disease. view more (2007-08-22)
