Alzheimer's Disease

Using an AI-based approach, researchers found a better way to create the drug galantamine, commonly prescribed to people suffering from Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. The fermentation-based technique could boost the drug's availability.
-
If someone you know has gone through chemotherapy, you might be familiar with the side effect 'chemo brain.' Scientists have now demonstrated a simple way to protect brain cells from damage using flashing lights and sounds at a certain frequency.
-
In 2016 researchers found unusually high levels of magnetite in a number of human brain samples. The tiny toxic particle can be found in modern urban air pollution and is now suspected to be one environmental contributor to Alzheimer's disease.
-
A 12-week Kundalini yoga course provided test subjects a range of measurable brain benefits including improved memory, anti-aging and anti-inflammatory effects, according to new research from UCLA, suggesting it could help prevent Alzheimer's disease.
-
Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors such as Viagra are best known for treating erectile dysfunction, but a study of nearly 270,000 men has added to the growing body of evidence that they may also protect the brain against developing Alzheimer's disease.
-
In yet another surprise attribute of the new class of obesity drugs, scientists have found that GLP-1 receptor agonists can also subdue brain inflammation, giving them a potential ‘superpower’ in the fight against Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.
-
A team has reported the first-ever evidence of human-to-human transmission of Alzheimer’s disease, demonstrating how a human growth hormone treatment transplanted toxic proteins into children and caused the development of early-onset Alzheimer’s.
-
Scientists have, for the first time, identified five distinct subtypes of Alzheimer’s disease, each with different neurodegenerative behaviors, survival rates and medical interventions. It could be a game-changer for research and therapeutic success.
-
In 2023, researchers homed in on a variety of relatively small and simple lifestyle modifications that can positively impact human health. These are discoveries you can use right now to potentially boost your health, fight disease, and live longer.
-
A study has found that, for older adults living alone, owning a pet was linked to slower rates of decline in some aspects of cognition and may completely offset the association between living alone, a recognized dementia risk, and cognitive decline.
-
A study has found that treatment with a ‘chemical chaperone’ reduced the accumulation of protein plaques and restored cognitive functioning in mouse models of Alzheimer’s, which could lead to novel treatments to help treat the debilitating disease.
-
Scientists have solved the mystery of which protein triggers the onset of many cases of frontotemporal dementia, paving the way for more effective early diagnosis of the degenerative disease and the development of potentially life-changing treatment.
