Enzyme action creates protein linked to Alzheimer's disease
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have defined a key step in the production of beta-amyloid, a short protein that is thought to be responsible for the development of Alzheimer's disease. view more (2005-08-15)
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)
Study shows fruit and vegetable juice consumption may reduce risk of Alzheimer's disease
Drinking fruit and vegetable juices frequently may delay the onset of Alzheimer's disease. view more (2006-09-01)
Testosterone therapy may prevent Alzheimer's disease
Researchers at the University of Southern California have discovered a direct link between loss of testosterone and the development of an Alzheimer's-like disease in mice. They also discovered that testosterone treatment slows progression of the disease. view more (2006-12-20)
Enzyme shreds Alzheimer's protein
An enzyme found naturally in the brain snips apart the protein that forms the sludge called amyloid plaque that is one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD), researchers have found. view more (2006-09-21)
Region of DNA strongly associated with Alzheimer's disease
An international team of researchers, led by investigators at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, are zeroing in on a gene that increases risk for Alzheimer's disease. view more (2006-01-11)
Researchers get closer to preventing Alzheimer's disease
A recent study directed by Mount Sinai School of Medicine identifies a faulty molecule in the brain found in cases of mild cognitive impairment (MCI). view more (2006-07-06)
A link between obesity and memory? Saint Louis University research makes the connection
Scientists have wondered why obese patients who have diabetes also may have problems with their long-term memory. New Saint Louis University research in this month's Peptides provides a clue. view more (2006-06-15)
Clues to the progression of Alzheimer's disease revealed in brain imaging studies
A novel imaging agent heralded for its potential to diagnose Alzheimer's disease during life is now giving researchers information never before available about how and where the disease progresses in the brain. view more (2005-11-15)
Calorie restriction in non-human primates may prevent and reduce Alzheimer's disease neuropathology
A new study directed by Mount Sinai School of Medicine extends and strengthens the research that experimental dietary regimens might halt or even reverse symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease (AD). view more (2006-09-18)
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)
Cabernet sauvignon red wine reduces the risk of Alzheimer's disease
A new study directed by Mount Sinai School of Medicine has found that moderate red wine consumption in a form of Cabernet Sauvignon may help reduce the incidence of Alzheimer's Disease (AD). view more (2006-09-19)
'Molecular zipper' may hold important clues to Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and mad cow disease
An international team of chemists and molecular biologists has discovered a fundamental molecular mechanism that seems to play an important role in Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, mad cow disease and two-dozen other degenerative and fatal diseases. The discovery is reported June 9 in the journal Nature, where it is featured on the cover. view more (2005-06-09)
Alzheimer's study first to explain death of brain cells
Researchers at Children's Hospital & Research Center at Oakland (CHRCO) have published a new study that is the first to explain how brain cells die in patients with Alzheimer's Disease. view more (2006-03-15)
Molecule links Down syndrome to Alzheimer's
Researchers from the Institute of Psychiatry at King's College London have identified a molecule that could be targeted to treat the cognitive impairment in people with Down syndrome. view more (2005-12-06)
New strategy for protecting brain against Alzheimer's disease: Enhancing the innate immune system
The human body has its own defense against brain aging: the innate immune system, which helps to clean the brain of amyloid-beta waste products. However, UCLA researchers discovered that some patients with Alzheimer's disease have an immune defect making it difficult to clean away these wastes. view more (2005-06-10)
Calorie restriction may prevent Alzheimer's through promotion of longevity program in the brain
A recent study directed by Mount Sinai School of Medicine suggests that experimental dietary regimens might calm or even reverse symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease (AD). view more (2006-06-15)
Chemical found in curry may help immune system clear amyloid plaques found in Alzheimer's disease
UCLA/VA researchers found that curcumin - a chemical found in curry and turmeric - may help the immune system clear the brain of amyloid beta, which form the plaques found in Alzheimer's disease. view more (2006-10-04)
Cold sore virus might play role in Alzheimer's disease
A gene known to be a major risk factor for Alzheimer's disease puts out the welcome mat for the virus that causes cold sores, allowing the virus to be more active in the brain compared to other forms of the gene. view more (2007-01-04)
Structure of enzyme offers treatment clues for diabetes, Alzheimer's
Researchers from the University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory have deciphered the three-dimensional structure of insulin-degrading enzyme, a promising target for new drugs because it breaks down not only insulin but also the amyloid-beta protein, which has been linked to the cognitive decline of Alzheimer's disease. view more (2006-10-12)
