New Alzheimer’s treatment using ultrasound yields 75% success rate, restoring complete memory function in trial run
A new Alzheimer’s treatment called focused therapeutic ultrasound beams sound waves into brain tissue and stimulates the brain’s waste removal system, safely enabling a clearance of the plaques, clumps and tangles that block memories. This non-invasive technology uses sound waves to safely open the blood-brain barrier where your ‘janitorial’ microglial cells can sweep out the […]

Immune cells ATTACK the aging brain and release a substance that hinders new nerve cell production, report scientists
One of the defining features of the brain that sets it apart from all other organs of the human body (except muscles) is that it is made up of cells that cannot regenerate. The nerve cells in the brain called neurons are terminally differentiated, meaning that, unlike skin cells or blood cells, they cannot reproduce. So […]

Brush your teeth every day to keep brain disease away: Study links gingivitis bacteria to increased risk of Alzheimer’s
Maintaining good oral health can help slow down the development of Alzheimer’s disease, according to new research. In a study published in Science Advances, researchers discovered that Porphyromonas gingivalis, a bacterium that causes chronic periodontitis (gum infection), colonizes the brains of Alzheimer’s patients. The toxic substances produced by P. gingivalis — called gingipains — correlate with the levels […]

Flashing lights and pink noise could be the key to preventing Alzheimer’s
Researchers believe they have found a potential treatment for Alzheimer’s disease. Animal tests show that exposing mice to light flashes and sound pulses at the frequency of 40 hertz can reverse some of the symptoms of the neurodegenerative disease. Alzheimer’s disease continues to defy any attempt at treating it. Several pharmaceutical drugs help regulate a few […]

Could hibernating animals help us treat Alzheimer’s? Scientists say yes
The cute hamsters found in most pet stores and many children’s bedrooms may harbor the key to treating Alzheimer’s disease. Spanish researchers investigated the ability of the golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) to get rid of harmful protein structures that appear in its brain during hibernation – structures that happen to be associated with Alzheimer’s and other age-related […]

New study sheds light on how Alzheimer’s disease damages the brain
Researchers claimed to have figured out exactly how amyloid beta and tau proteins harm the brain during the onset and progress of Alzheimer’s disease. They urged for therapies that simultaneously target both pathogenic proteins because the structures they formed could interact with each other. When amyloid beta accumulates in the brain, it forms stiff plaques. Similarly, high levels […]

Researchers develop method to reverse Alzheimer’s disease in mouse models
Researchers from the Cleveland Clinic’s Lerner Research Institute have discovered that selectively removing a particular enzyme from the brain can lead to a reversal of the formation of amyloid plaques, which are known to be linked with Alzheimer’s disease. After performing tests on lab mice, the researchers found that they could improve the cognitive function […]

Revolutionary microscopy technique allows scientists to better understand amyloid-based diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s
A new breed of powerful microscopes has enabled British researchers to make huge strides in the study of amyloid diseases. According to a Science Daily article, cryo-electron microscopes have enabled new discoveries about the proteins that cause Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s, and Parkinson’s diseases. These powerful instruments use electrons to view the shape of the samples. They can discern […]
