Alzheimer’s Disease: Learning from the Past, Looking to the Future

Back in the early 1970s, Alzheimer’s disease was considered a hopeless and untreatable condition. At that time, many doctors believed that this disease is a disease of aging, and thus, there was no point in researching the condition.

			Making the Most of Microdialysis for Neurotransmitter Analysis Martin Eysberg provides an introduction to the ALEXYS Neurotransmitter Analyzer, an extremely precise UHPLC-EC detector for neurotransmitter analysis.

			Antibody Research and Alzheimer’s Disease As the population ages, so too will the incidence of disease in people over the age of 65. Research into effective treatments for the management or prevention of such diseases are therefore urgently needed.

	Blood-clotting factor may cause Alzheimer's disease A protein known for its role in forming blood clots has been found to cause the characteristic cognitive decline of Alzheimer's disease. The discovery provides a new target for drug developers trying to find a cure for this devastating condition.

	Study explains why women are more prone to Alzheimer’s disease A study of 300 elderly individuals who underwent PET (positron emission tomography) scans showed that women are more likely to develop the toxic proteins known to trigger the disease.

	The cytoskeleton of neurons found to play role in Alzheimer's disease A researcher at the UPV/EHU has participated in a study describing what it is during the early stages of Alzheimer's that triggers the loss of dynamics and subsequent impairment of the dendritic spines, the compartments of the neurons responsible for receiving nerve impulses from other neurons.

	USC researchers use AI to identify blood-based markers of Alzheimer's disease Nearly 50 million people worldwide have Alzheimer's disease or another form of dementia. While age is the greatest risk factor for developing the disease, researchers believe most Alzheimer's cases occur as a result of complex interactions among genes and other factors. But those factors and the role they play are not known--yet.

	Exercise hormone can prevent Alzheimer's finds study According to a large worldwide study, the hormone that is produced in the body during exercise called irisin, can prevent and delay the onset of mental faculty decline and Alzheimer’s disease. The results of the study were published in the latest issue of the journal Nature Medicine.
