Alzheimer's: Can an Amino Acid Help Restore Memories?

Mar. 3, 2020 — Scientists have just shown that a metabolic pathway plays a determining role in Alzheimer's disease's memory problems. This work also shows that supplying a specific amino ... read more

Molecular 'Switch' Reverses Chronic Inflammation and Aging

Feb. 6, 2020 — Scientists have identified a molecular 'switch' that controls the immune machinery responsible for chronic inflammation in the body. The finding could lead to new ways to halt or even reverse many ... read more

Molecular Switch for Repairing Central Nervous System Disorders

Jan. 10, 2020 — A molecular switch has the ability to turn on a substance in animals that repairs neurological damage in disorders such as multiple sclerosis (MS), researchers have discovered. The early research in ... read more

Forgetfulness Might Depend on Time of Day

Dec. 18, 2019 — Researchers have identified a gene in mice that seems to influence memory recall at different times of day and tracked how it causes mice to be more forgetful just before they normally wake ... read more

Alzheimer's Disease: Inflammation Triggers Fatal Cycle

Mar. 18, 2020 — An immune reaction in the brain seems to play a major role in the development of Alzheimer's disease. In a way, it ''adds fuel to the fire'' and apparently causes an ... read more

Alzheimer Risk Genes Converge on Microglia

Mar. 18, 2020 — Our DNA determines a large part of our risk for Alzheimer's disease, but it remained unclear how many genetic risk factors contribute to disease. A team now shows that many of risk factors ... read more

Inflammation in the Brain Linked to Several Forms of Dementia

Mar. 16, 2020 — Inflammation in the brain may be more widely implicated in dementias than was previously thought, suggests new research. The researchers say it offers hope for potential new treatments for several ... read more

Alzheimer's and an Unusual Molecular Chaperone

Mar. 13, 2020 — A research team elucidates the aggregation mechanism of the Alzheimer protein ... read more

Resolving Inflammation: Could It Prevent Memory Loss in Down Syndrome and Alzheimer's?

Mar. 13, 2020 — Resolvins are lipids that 'resolve' the inflammation that normally follows injury or disease, returning the body back to normal. Therapeutic administration of one such resolvin can halt ... read more

Protective Brain-Cell Housekeeping Mechanism May Also Regulate Sleep

Mar. 12, 2020 — An important biological mechanism that is thought to protect brain cells from neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's may also be involved in regulating sleep, ... read more

How the Historically Misunderstood Amyloid Helps to Store Memories

Mar. 12, 2020 — For the first time, scientists have described the structure of an endogenously sourced, functioning neuronal amyloid at atomic resolution. The amyloid is composed of self-aggregated Orb2, the fruit ... read more

Gold Nanoparticles Uncover Amyloid Fibrils

Mar. 12, 2020 — Scientists have developed powerful tools to unmask the diversity of amyloid fibrils, which are associated with Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders. The scientists made the ... read more
