One of the big mysteries in biology is why cells age. Now scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies report that they have discovered a weakness in a component of brain cells that may explain how the aging process occurs in the brain… View full post on Alzheimer’s / Dementia News From Medical . . . → Read More: Insight Into Cell Aging Likely Following Discovery Of Extremely Long-Lived Proteins Led by researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine, scientists have, for the first time, created stem cell-derived, in vitro models of sporadic and hereditary Alzheimer’s disease (AD), using induced pluripotent stem cells from patients with the much-dreaded neurodegenerative disorder… View full post on Alzheimer’s / Dementia News From Medical . . . → Read More: Alzheimer’s Neurons Induced From Pluripotent Stem Cells More than half of all cases of dementia in the elderly can be attributed to Alzheimer’s disease. Despite vast research efforts, an effective therapy has not been developed, and treatment consists of dealing with the symptoms. Changes in brain tissues are a hallmark of Alzheimer’s… View full post on Alzheimer’s / Dementia News From Medical . . . → Read More: Simulations Offer New Insights Into Alzheimer’s Disease The loss of manganese could mean that calcium does not stick to bones and could cause osteoporosis. This is the new theory put forward by researchers at the University of Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM) in Spain after studying deer antlers. The hypothesis published this month in the Frontiers of Bioscience journal still needs to be confirmed by the scientific community… View full post on Alzheimer’s / Dementia News From Medical . . . → Read More: New Theory On Osteoporosis Inspired By Deer Antlers People with no Alzheimer’s disease signs whose brain cortex regions are smaller than normal probably have a higher risk of developing early symptoms of the disease, researchers from the University of Pennsylvania and Massachusetts General Hospital reported in the peer-reviewed journal Neurology this week… View full post on Alzheimer’s / Dementia News From Medical . . . → Read More: Early Alzheimer’s Disease – Brain’s Cortex Size May Predict Risk People with no Alzheimer’s disease signs whose brain cortex regions are smaller than normal probably have a higher risk of developing early symptoms of the disease, researchers from the University of Pennsylvania and Massachusetts General Hospital reported in the peer-reviewed journal Neurology this week… View full post on Alzheimer’s / Dementia News From Medical . . . → Read More: Early Alzheimer’s Disease – Brain’s Cortex Size May Predict Risk When the activity of a molecule that is normally elevated during viral infections is inhibited in the brain, mice learn and remember better, researchers at Baylor College of Medicine reported in a recent article in the journal Cell… View full post on Alzheimer’s / Dementia News From Medical . . . → Read More: Neuroscientists Boost Memory Using Genetics And A New Memory-Enhancing Drug Many women suffer memory loss and/or confusion at some point in their lives, but as many as 5 million Americans suffer from a much more serious disease, Alzheimer’s. According to statistics from the National Institute on Aging, Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia in older people… View full post on Alzheimer’s / Dementia News From Medical . . . → Read More: Women And Alzheimer’s Disease Oligomerix, Inc. presented results at the Society for Neuroscience meeting in Washington D.C. which demonstrated that tau protein forms neurotoxic oligomers with a newly discovered enzymatic function. This proteolytic function results in tau’s self-fragmentation and in the degradation of other proteins suggesting a mechanism for its neurotoxic mode-of-action… View full post on Alzheimer’s / Dementia News From Medical . . . → Read More: A New Mechanism For Tau Protein Pathology In Alzheimer’s Disease Was Presented By Oligomerix, Inc. At The Society For Neuroscience Annual Meeting Sleep-disordered breathing among older women that leads to deficient oxygenation of the blood (hypoxemia) raises the risk of their developing dementia or cognitive impairment, compared with other older women, researchers from the University of California, San Francisco, reported in JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association)… View full post on Alzheimer’s / Dementia News From Medical . . . → Read More: Dementia Risk Higher Among Older Women With Sleep-disordered Breathing |
