Alzheimer’s Drugs Reverse Broader Aging

December 13, 2019 by Brian Wang

In mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease, the drug candidates (CMS121 and J147) improve memory and slow the degeneration of brain cells. Researchers have shown how these compounds can also slow aging in healthy older mice, blocking the damage to brain cells that normally occurs during aging and restoring the levels of specific molecules to those …

Blood Test Detects Rate of Brain Cell Death from Alzheimer’s Up to 16 Years Before Signs of Dementia

January 24, 2019 by Brian Wang

Scientists at the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE), the Hertie Institute for Clinical Brain Research (HIH) and the University Hospital Tübingen now show that a protein found in the blood can be used to precisely monitor disease progression long before first clinical signs appear. When brain cells die, their remains can be detected in …

May 16, 2018May 16, 2018 by Brian Wang

United Neuroscience (UNS) endobody vaccines train the body to develop its own defense against agents of chronic disease. Vaccines have been one of the most effective and impactful medicines in history. Vaccines historically target exogenous pathogens outside the body associated with infectious diseases, and there are now over a dozen infectious diseases that are preventable …

Gene APOE4 causes Alzheimers disease in humans and a fix has been created

April 13, 2018 by Brian Wang

Researchers have found differences in how Alzheimers disease originates and develops in mice and humans. They determined which gene causes Alzheimers in humans and have developed a fix for it. Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease aren’t the same. Dementia is an overall term used to describe symptoms that impact memory, performance of daily activities, and communication …

Recording memory patterns and feeding back can boost memory by up to 37% in Alzheimers patients

March 30, 2018 by Brian Wang

Scientists at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center and the University of Southern California (USC) have demonstrated the successful implementation of a prosthetic system that uses a person’s own memory patterns to facilitate the brain’s ability to encode and recall memory. Advanced Lifelogging seems needed to support memory boosting. Most Healthy early lifelogging adopters found it …
