Aluminum and Amyloid-β in Familial Alzheimer’s Disease
“we have obtained brain tissues from a Colombian cohort of donors with familial Alzheimer’s disease. We have used established methods to measure the aluminum content of these tissues and we […]
UCLA cell study reveals how head injuries lead to serious brain diseases
The biologists found that hundreds of genes are adversely affected by mild traumatic brain injury, such as a concussion. These altered genes can later lead to Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and other […]
Studies show connection between diet, cognitive function
“…her data suggested that caloric restriction functioned as a sort of “fountain of youth” for aging rodents, whose neurovascular and metabolic functions were better than those of young mice on […]
Dietary fiber reduces brain inflammation during aging
“The new study reveals, in old mice, that butyrate inhibits production of damaging chemicals by inflamed microglia. One of those chemicals is interleukin-1β, which has been associated with Alzheimer’s disease […]
Study shows how exercise generates new neurons, improves cognition in Alzheimer’s mouse
“A study by a Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) research team finds that neurogenesis -inducing the production of new neurons – in the brain structure in which memories are encoded can […]
Canola oil linked to worsened memory and learning ability in Alzheimer’s
“a new study published online December 7 in the journal Scientific Reports by researchers at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University (LKSOM) associates the consumption of canola […]
Landmark editorial identifies microbes as major cause of Alzheimer’s Disease
“A worldwide team of senior scientists and clinicians have come together to produce an editorial which indicates that certain microbes – a specific virus and two specific types of bacteria […]
Green tea extract delivers molecular punch to disrupt formation of neurotoxic species
“Preclinical evidence suggests that the green tea compound known as EGCG interferes with the formation of toxic assemblies (oligomers), one of the prime suspects in the early steps of the […]
More evidence shows natural plant compound may reduce mental effects of aging
“Salk scientists have found further evidence that a natural compound in strawberries reduces cognitive deficits and inflammation associated with aging in mice. The work, which appeared in the Journals of […]
