Study Links Low Level of Neuronal Receptor to Mild Cognitive Impairment, Alzheimer's (9/6/2007)

Results of a new study indicate a strong link between the loss of the neuronal receptor LR11 and onset of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), often a harbinger of Alzheimer's disease. ...> Full Article


Alzheimer's: High Stress And Genetic Risk Factor Lead To Increased Memory Decline (8/31/2007)

High stress levels may contribute to memory loss among people at risk for developing Alzheimer's disease. The A4 variant of the apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene contributes to the risk for memory loss related to Alzheimer's disease. Similarly, high circulating levels of cortisol, associated with high stress levels, also impairs memory. However, the interactive effects of this risk genotype and chronic stress are not well understood, so a new study being published in the September 1st issue of Biological Psychiatry was designed to explore this relationship. ...> Full Article

Researcher Goes 'Through The Nose' To Delay Onset Of Alzheimer's Disease (8/21/2007)

Scientists working on a cure for Alzheimer's disease find it hard to develop drugs that will pass through the highly selective blood-brain barrier. That may be why a Tel Aviv University researcher decided to take an alternate route - through the nose. ...> Full Article



Blood-clotting protein may be new target for Alzheimer's drugs (8/17/2007)

Blood-clotting protein may be new target for Alzheimer's drugsDespite the rapid rise of Alzheimer's disease - the Alzheimer's Association predicts as many as 7.7 million cases by 2030 - there are no preventative treatments available, few in the pharmaceutical pipeline, and those drugs being developed all share the same two molecular targets. Now Rockefeller University researchers report that by targeting a different molecule, a blood-clotting protein called fibrin, they could reduce inflammation in the brains of mice with different models of the disease. ...> Full Article


Scientists Discover Novel Regulator for the Development of the Nervous System (8/15/2007)

Nerve cells must perform millions of neuronal processes and form connections between them during embryonic development to ensure that the nervous system will function properly. Dr. Marta Rosário and Prof. Walter Birchmeier from the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC) Berlin-Buch (Germany), a member of the Helmholtz-Association of National Research Centres, have discovered a novel regulator which is crucial for this process and which they named NOMA-GAP (Neurite-Outgrowth MultiAdaptor RhoGAP). ...> Full Article

Bacteria Suggest New Approach To Alzheimer's Therapy (7/11/2007)

Bacteria Suggest New Approach To Alzheimer's TherapyNew insights into how bacteria form fibers called curli offer intriguing clues to the formation of harmful protein tangles in diseases such as Alzheimer's, Huntington's and Parkinson's, University of Michigan researchers report. Their results will be published online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences during the week of July 9-13. ...> Full Article


New Risk Factors Discovered For Alzheimer's Disease (7/10/2007)

A recent study in Journal of Neuroimaging suggests that cognitively normal adults exhibiting atrophy of their temporal lobe or damage to blood vessels in the brain are more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease. Older adults showing signs of both conditions were seven-times more likely to develop Alzheimer's than their peers. ...> Full Article


Alzheimer's Prevention Role Discovered For Prions (7/6/2007)

A role for prion proteins, the much debated agents of mad cow disease and vCJD, has been identified. It appears that the normal prions produced by the body help to prevent the plaques that build up in the brain to cause Alzheimer's disease. The possible function for the mysterious proteins was discovered by a team of scientists led by Medical Research Council funded scientist Professor Nigel Hooper of the University of Leeds. ...> Full Article


Newfound Mechanisms May Unlock Answers To Alzheimer's Disease (7/5/2007)

Four million people in the United States and 15 to 20 million people worldwide are affected by Alzheimer's disease. These numbers are likely to triple by 2050 due to the fact that 24 percent of the population will be more than 65 years old. In their attempt to combat the disease, two University of Missouri-Columbia professors have identified new mechanisms that could have major implications in the development of treatments for the disease. The National Institutes of Health recently awarded a $6 million grant to the Mizzou researchers to continue their study. ...> Full Article


Study Testing Whether Omega-3 Slows The Progression Of Alzheimer's (6/30/2007)

Nutritionists have long endorsed fish as part of a heart-healthy diet, and recent studies have suggested that omega-3 fatty acids found in the oil of certain fish, algae and human breast milk may also benefit the brain by lowering the risk of Alzheimer's disease. ...> Full Article


Cloned Pigs Help Scientists Towards A Breakthrough In Alzheimer's (6/30/2007)

Human Trials Begin For Enzyme Inhibitor Alzheimer's Drug (6/20/2007)

Human Trials Begin For Enzyme Inhibitor Alzheimer's DrugSeven years ago, Jordan Tang, Ph.D., led a team of scientists at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation that identified and cloned the enzyme believed to cause Alzheimer's disease, then created an inhibitor to halt the enzyme's action. Today, a biopharmaceutical company announced that it has begun human clinical trials of an Alzheimer's drug based on Tang's discoveries. ...> Full Article


Study Reveals How Stroke Or Head Injury Can Increase Risk Of Alzheimer's Disease (6/10/2007)

Researchers from the MassGeneral Institute for Neurodegenerative Disorders (MGH-MIND) have discovered how the death of brain cells caused by a stroke or head injury may cause generation of amyloid-beta protein - the key component of senile plaques seen in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease. Their report appears in the June 7 issue of the journal Neuron. ...> Full Article
