The impossible might soon become possible: there might be a treatment for patients suffering from memory loss caused by Alzheimer’s disease. A personalized therapeutic program that mixes medication, diet and lifestyle changes has proved useful in the case of this degenerative illness. According to a small study performed by a team at the Buck Institute, the Alzheimer’s symptoms can be … [Read more...]
Insulin Nasal Spray Could Be A Treatment for Alzheimer’s Patients
Recent statistics show that every 67 seconds, a person in the United States is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. Over half a million Americans die from Alzheimer’s every year and the number of people that live with this illness is ten times greater. A team of researchers from the Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem reported that they may have found a new medical cure to fight … [Read more...]
Alzheimer’s and Schizophrenia Cause Unveiled
A recent research led by a group of British scientists showed that degeneration of one particular neural network located within the grey matter region of the human brain results in schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s disease. This specific brain network, scientists found, is the last part of the brain to develop and the first one to degenerate due to aging or early life disorders. The team of … [Read more...]
Scientist Expect Alzheimer’s Cases to Double by 2050
A recent study addressing Alzheimer’s disease and its toll on our society suggests that the number of people suffering from the illness will double by 2050. Scientists explain that this trend is explained by the baby boomer population that is now aging. As a consequence, costs for caring for Alzheimer’s patients are also expected increase as much as fivefold, especially if ways aren’t found to … [Read more...]
Alzheimer’s Evolution Replicated in Lab Brain Cells
Being able to recreate a disease is one decisive step towards curing it. If until now researchers had the chance to observing the evolution of Alzheimer’s disease on mice only, from now on they could be analyzing the disease in a Petri dish. Two researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston worked on the project. Doo Yeon Kim told his colleague Rudolph E. Tanzi about the idea to … [Read more...]
One Step Closer to Developing a Blood Test to Predict Alzheimer’s Disease
The results of a new study were published and they are spectacular! The study reveals new information that brings us closer to developing a blood test to predict Alzheimer’s disease. The study was conducted by the Proteome Sciences and King’s College in London, UK. Blood samples were taken from 1,148 people: 476 patients with Alzheimer’s disease, 220 with MCI (Mild Cognitive Impairment) and 452 … [Read more...]
Alzheimer’s Blood Test Research gets Major breakthrough
The British scientists have done a major advancement in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease as they have developed a blood test that can predict the onset of the disease. According to the scientists, they have identified 10 proteins in the blood which can predict the onset of disease. The study, led by researchers at King's College London (KCL) and Oxford University, analysed over 1,000 … [Read more...]
Anti-Aging gene expression KLOTHO to treat Alzheimer’s
Every 67 seconds someone develops Alzheimer’s in the United States. And the most shocking is that 1 out of 6 women have a form of the disease by the age of 65. In such a scenario when memory loss is becoming a big problem in the United States the findings of a new study has come as a major breakthrough. The scientists have discovered a potential gene expression that could be key to treating … [Read more...]
1 in 5 people possess natural protector against Alzheimer’s
In what could be termed as a good news for approximately 1 in 5 people, scientists have discovered that these people carry a gene that can lessen the effects of Alzheimer’s disease. The researchers at the University of California San Francisco and the Glandstone Institute have found that about 20 percent of the population carries a natural protector against Alzheimer’s disease. They say, it may … [Read more...]
Young blood infusion improves mental performance in old mice
The researchers have come closer towards finding a way to treating dementia like Alzheimer’s disease. In a new study, the researchers have found that by infusing young blood, mental abnormalities can be treated in old people. The researchers from Stanford University School of Medicine carried the experiment on mice. Sophisticated techniques were used to pin down numerous important molecular, … [Read more...]
