Using gut microbiota transplants, an international team of researchers has shown memory impairments in humans with Alzheimer’s can be passed on to young, healthy rats. This confirms that gut bacteria are involved in causing Alzheimers. Specific bacteria in the gut are directly linked to cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s patients. Gut microbiota actually play a causal …
Lifespan.io reports that researchers have reduced memory and learning symptoms in mice. Alzheimer’s research needs new approaches. A paper describes a promising molecule built using a technique that can be expanded to numerous other proteins with post-translational modifications. The researchers were also able to deliver the rather large molecule intranasally across the blood-brain barrier, alleviating …
Scientists at Cambridge and Leeds have successfully reversed age-related memory loss in mice and say their discovery could lead to the development of genetic and drug treatments to prevent memory loss in people as they age. The team have already identified a potential drug, licensed for human use, that can be taken by mouth and …
Researchers have identified a new treatment candidate that appears to not only halt neurodegenerative symptoms in mouse models of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, but also reverse the effects of the disorders. The team, based at Tohoku University, published their results on June 8 in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences. The treatment candidate has been …
A huge global problem is that the world is on track to have 100 million people will have Alzheimer’s disease (AD) dementia in 2050. Early, accurate, and biomarker-based diagnosis of AD would be a game-changer for mitigating the course of the disease as early as possible and a means to tell how well treatments are …
A bioengineered soft cap emitting electromagnetic waves has reversed memory impairment of Alzheimer’s patients (AD). This is a patient wearing MemorEM. CREDIT NeuroEM Therapeutics, Inc. Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is disease of brain aging that causes progressive, severe memory loss. There is no effective “drug” to prevent or treat AD and most believe that it is …
The Salk Institute discovered a potent neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory chemical in a native California shrub may lead to a treatment for Alzheimer’s disease based on a compound found in nature. Alzheimer’s is the most common cause of dementia, a general term for memory loss and other cognitive abilities serious enough to interfere with daily life. …
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 …
