Higher glucose levels detected by a two-hour glucose test were an accurate predictor of poorer performance in tests of episodic memory ten years later.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Converting Glioma Cells Into Neurons May Treat Glioblastoma
Cellular reprogramming of glioma cells into neural cells may be a promising treatment for glioblastoma brain cancer.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Time Until Dementia Symptoms Appear Can Be Estimated via Brain Scan
A new algorithm uses neuroimaging data of amyloid levels in the brain and takes into account a person’s age to determine when a person with genetic Alzheimer’s risk factors, and with no signs of cognitive decline, will develop the disease.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: New Gene Therapy Pathway Could Protect Us From Cancer and Dementia
A newly identified gene therapy pathway has the potential to protect us against dementia and cancer, researchers report.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Can Cocoa Consumption Help Us Age Better?
Cocoa consumption could reduce inflammation and epigenetic aging, ultimately reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and other diseases associated with aging.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Stem Cells Model Genetic Risk for Developing Alzheimer’s Disease
Stem cell study reveals astrocytes carrying the Alzheimer’s associated APOE4 gene release more cholesterol than those carrying the APOE3 gene. Findings shed light on how different versions of the APOE gene in astrocytes influence amyloid-beta productio…
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Cholesterol Drives Alzheimer’s Plaque Formation
Cholesterol produced by astrocytes in the brain is required for the production of amyloid-beta. The findings shed light on how and why amyloid-beta forms, and may explain why genes associated with cholesterol have been implicated as risk factors for Al…
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Protein From the Liver May Cause Alzheimer’s Disease in the Brain
Amyloid-beta proteins created in the liver are carried in the blood by lipoproteins to the brain. This results in neurodegeneration, brain atrophy, and inflammation, which are common features of Alzheimer’s disease.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Mimicking Nature to Provide Long-Lasting Local Anesthesia
A new bio-inspired slow-release system for site 1 sodium channel blockers helps release anesthesia, providing prolonged nerve blocking with minimal toxicity.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Docking Peptides, Slow to Lock, Open Possible Path to Treat Alzheimer’s
Drugs that stabilize amyloid fibril “frustration” block further aggregation and could provide a new method to prevent the progression of Alzheimer’s.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Researchers Shed New Light on Molecular Mechanisms in Brain Diseases
Study reveals the molecular mechanisms implicated in the regulation of toxic proteins in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Study Finds Evidence of Possible Link Between Herpes Simplex and Neurogenerative Diseases
Researchers discovered mutations of the OPTN gene resulted in increased herpesvirus 1 growth in the brains of mice, leading to the death of local neurons. This resulted in accelerated neurodegeneration. OPTN deficiency was also associated with impairme…
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Researchers Build a Cellular Blueprint of Multiple Sclerosis Lesions
Analyzing the gene activity of 66,000 cells from human brain tissue, researchers generated a comprehensive map of cell types associated with brain lesions in multiple sclerosis, and their gene expression patterns and interactions.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Signs of Dementia Are Written in the Blood
Researchers identified 33 metabolic compounds in blood samples that differed between those with dementia and cognitively healthy older adults. 7 of the metabolites were elevated in dementia patients, while 26 were at lower levels compared to samples of…
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Reversal of the Biological Hallmarks Responsible for Development of Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia Using Unique Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Protocol
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy improved cerebral blood flow by up to 23%, alleviating vascular dysfunction and amyloid burden in elderly patients. The treatment also improved memory by 16.5%.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Eating Peanuts May Lower Risk of Ischemic Stroke and Cardiovascular Disease
A study conducted on Japanese men and women found peanut consumption decreased the risk of cardiovascular disease and ischemic stroke.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Link Between ADHD and Dementia Across Generations
People with ADHD had a 34% higher risk of developing dementia than those without the disorder. The risk of being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, the most common type of dementia, was 55% higher for those with ADHD.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Exposure to Traffic Noise Linked to Higher Dementia Risk
Exposure to high levels of road and rail traffic noise over long periods of time is associated with a higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: People With Parkinson’s May Benefit From 7 Walking Strategies
Study suggests seven compensation strategies to help those with Parkinson’s disease improve mobility and walking problems.
