Bexarotene cancer drug may reverse Alzheimer's symptoms
Neuroscientists at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine have made a dramatic breakthrough in their efforts to find a cure for Alzheimer's disease. The research shows that use of a drug in mice appears to quickly reverse the pathological, cognitive and memory deficits caused by the onset of Alzheimer's.

Brain stimulating habits lowers Alzheimer's disease risk
Individuals who keep their brains active throughout life with cognitively stimulating activities such as reading, writing and playing games appear to have reduced levels of the ß-amyloid protein, which is the major part of the amyloid plaque in Alzheimer disease.

Imaging can identify biomarker of alzheimer's disease
Preliminary research suggests that use of a type of molecular imaging procedure may have the ability to detect the presence of beta-amyloid in the brains of individuals during life, a biomarker that is identified during autopsy to confirm a diagnosis of Alzheimer disease.

Function found for Alzheimer's protein APP
A new study reveals that when amyloid precursor protein (APP) fails to convert iron from an unsafe form to a safe one for transport or storage, it leads to rise in iron levels inside neurons mount to toxic levels and eventually causes Alzheimer's disease.

Beta amyloid protein spurs formation of Alzheimer's plaques
In Alzheimer's disease, the problem is beta-amyloid, a protein that accumulates in the brain and causes nerve cells to weaken and die. Drugs designed to eliminate plaques made of beta-amyloid have a fatal problem: they need to enter the brain and remove the plaques without attacking healthy brain cells.

Cell phone may boost memory in Alzheimer's disease patients
The millions of people who spend hours every day on a cell phone may have a new excuse for yakking. A surprising new study in mice provides the first evidence that long-term exposure to electromagnetic waves associated with cell phone use may actually protect against, and even reverse, Alzheimer's disease.

High leptin levels may protect against Alzheimer's disease, dementia
Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) have found that higher leptin (a protein that controls weight and appetite) levels were associated with a lower incidence of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and dementia.

Green tea may help brain disorder patients
Researchers have found that combining two chemicals, one of which is the green tea component EGCG, can prevent and destroy a variety of protein structures known as amyloids. Amyloids are the primary culprits in fatal brain disorders such as Alzheimer's, Huntington's, and Parkinson's diseases.

Extra virgin olive oil prevents Alzheimer's disease
Natural compound, Oleocanthal, in extra virgin olive oil targets toxic beta amyloid proteins in patients with Alzheimer's disease, revealed by US researchers. Extra virgin olive oil contains the highest amount of polyphenol antioxidants also.

Alzheimer's disease drug treats traumatic brain injury
The destructive cellular pathways activated in Alzheimer's disease are also triggered following traumatic brain injury, say researchers from Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC).

Coffee may reverse Alzheimer's disease
Caffeine significantly decreased abnormal levels of the protein linked to Alzheimer's disease, both in the brains and in the blood of mice exhibiting symptoms of the disease, revealed by researchers.

Alzheimer's Society comment on benefits of weekly curry
Professor Murali Doraiswamy, from the Duke University Medical Center in Carolina, has suggested that curcumin, found in the popular curry ingredient tumeric, could help prevent the onset of dementia.

SAP a new therapeutic target in Alzheimer's disease
New therapeutic approaches in Alzheimer's disease are urgently needed. Work led by Professor Mark Pepys FRS over more than 20 years has identified a protein known as serum amyloid P component (SAP) as a possible therapeutic target in Alzheimer's disease.

A-beta clearance - a key to treatment or prevention of Alzheimer's disease
In Alzheimer's disease the brain accumulates a molecule called A-beta that can be quite toxic to brain cells. Many researchers believe that finding ways to clear A-beta may be a key to treatment or prevention of Alzheimer's disease.
