A high fat, low carbohydrate diet improves Alzheimer's disease in mice
Mice with the mouse model of Alzheimer's disease show improvements in their condition when treated with a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet. view more (2005-10-17)
Two cardiovascular proteins pose a double whammy in Alzheimer's
Researchers have found that two proteins which work in tandem in the brain's blood vessels present a double whammy in Alzheimer's disease. view more (2008-12-22)
Gladstone scientists uncover potential mechanism of memory loss in Alzheimer's disease
Researchers at the Gladstone Institute of Neurological Disease (GIND) and Baylor College of Medicine have discovered a mechanism by which the protein Amyloid-beta(AB) may impair neurological functions in Alzheimer's disease. view more (2007-09-06)
The good and the bad of a potential Alzheimer's target
Research in fruit flies has shown that enhancing the production of a protein called neprilysin can reduce the formation of plaques and neuron death associated with Alzheimer's, at the expense of reducing the flies' lifespan. view more (2008-06-30)
Green tea ingredient prevents Alzheimer's-like brain damage in mice
Researchers at the University of South (USF) have found that green tea may offer another potential health benefit - protecting the brain against the ravages of Alzheimer's disease. view more (2005-09-21)
Tiny but toxic: MBL researchers discover a mechanism of neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease
Tiny, toxic protein particles severely disrupt neurotransmission and inhibit delivery of key proteins in Alzheimer's disease, two separate studies by Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) researchers have found. view more (2009-03-27)
Anti-hypertensive drugs may help prevent and treat Alzheimer's disease
A new study has identified commonly prescribed drugs for the treatment of hypertension may be capable of preventing Alzheimer�s disease and cognitive deterioration. view more (2007-10-26)
Penn study finds inhaled anesthetics accelerate the appearance of brain plaque in animals
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania's School of Medicine have discovered that common inhaled anesthetics increase the number of amyloid plaques in the brains of animals, which might accelerate the onset of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. view more (2007-03-12)
Mayo Clinic researchers find agents that speed up destruction of proteins linked to Alzheimer's
Taking a new approach to the treatment and prevention of Alzheimer's disease, a research team led by investigators at the Mayo Clinic campus in Florida has shown that druglike compounds can speed up destruction of the amyloid beta (A-beta) proteins that form plaque in the brains of patients with the disorder. view more (2009-04-22)
Study indicates grape seed extract may reduce cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer's disease
A compound found in grape seed extract reduces plaque formation and resulting cognitive impairment in an animal model of Alzheimer's disease, new research shows. The study appears in the June 18 issue of The Journal of Neuroscience. view more (2008-06-18)
Calcium may be the key to understanding Alzheimer's disease
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have shown that mutations in two proteins associated with familial Alzheimer's disease disrupt the flow of calcium ions within neurons. The two proteins, called PS1 and PS2 (presenilin 1 and 2), interact with a calcium release channel in an intracellular cell compartment. view more (2008-07-21)
New clues to stroke role in Alzheimer's
Researchers have discovered key details of how stroke or traumatic brain injury can trigger Alzheimer's disease (AD) by enhancing formation of brain-clogging amyloid plaques. view more (2007-06-07)
Copper damages protein that defends against Alzheimer's
Copper can damage a molecule that escorts out of the brain a substance called amyloid beta that builds up in toxic quantities in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease. view more (2007-11-07)
Test quickly assesses whether Alzheimer's drugs are hitting their target
A test developed by physician-scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis may help assess more quickly the ability of Alzheimer's drugs to affect one of the possible underlying causes of Alzheimer's disease in humans, accelerating the development of new treatments. view more (2009-04-10)
How small molecule can take apart Alzheimer's disease protein fibers
Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have shown, in unprecedented detail, how a small molecule is able to selectively take apart abnormally folded protein fibers connected to Alzheimer's disease and prion diseases. view more (2008-05-16)
Newly discovered antibody may be body's natural defense against Alzheimer's
In an important advance in the battle against Alzheimer's disease, physician-scientists at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center have identified naturally occurring antibodies in human blood that may help to defend against this form of dementia as well as other neurodegenerative diseases. view more (2007-06-12)
Study links Alzheimer's disease to abnormal cell division
A new study in mice suggests that Alzheimer's disease (AD) may be triggered when adult neurons try to divide. The finding helps researchers understand what goes wrong in the disease and may lead to new ways of treating it. view more (2006-01-18)
Optics tests for early Alzheimer's diagnosis make significant advances
Providing an update on progress and new findings on his optical tests for the early detection of Alzheimer's disease, Lee Goldstein of Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School will describe dramatic new developments in the technology during a plenary talk at Frontiers in Optics, the annual meeting of the Optical Society of America... view more...

T-beta-RIII joins the fight against breast cancer
Although the soluble factor TGF-beta has been shown to suppress the growth of tumor cells in the early stages of breast cancer, high levels of TGF-beta during the later stages of the disease are associated with a poor outcome. view more (2006-12-08)
Destroying amyloid proteins with lasers
Researchers have found that a technique used to visualize amyloid fibers in the laboratory might have the potential to destroy them in the clinic. view more (2009-01-08)
