An artificial sunset against Alzheimer's: a light gives patients hope
Research from Weifang Medical University in China suggests that light therapy, or photobiomodulation, improves sleep and reduces behavioral symptoms in Alzheimer's patients, with minimal side effects
Alzheimer's symptoms transferred to healthy rats: why it is a crucial discovery
Research team shows that gut microbiome can transmit Alzheimer's disease from humans to healthy rats. The discovery could open new therapeutic avenues.
Jelly Drops, water bonbons to hydrate those suffering from Alzheimer's
Jelly Drops, innovative water bonbons, help hydrate those suffering from dementia, especially during heat waves
Alzheimer's drug treats trichotillomania (compulsion to pull out hair)
Clinical studies show that memantine is also beneficial for patients with trichotillomania and excoriation disorder.
Intranasal medication stops Alzheimer's memory loss in early tests
Intranasal administration of active lipid messengers blocks memory loss and neurodegeneration in mouse models of Alzheimer's.
Aducanumab, anti-Alzheimer's drug approved, but doubts remain
Aducanumab could represent a revolution for all Alzheimer's patients, but for now it represents only an element of controversy
Alzheimer's, liver protein to blame? The results of an innovative study
The "blood-brain" pathway that intoxicates the latter, producing Alzheimer's degeneration, could originate from the liver.
A new diagnostic tool predicts 90% of Alzheimer's disease
A blood sample, 10 minutes of testing and very high accuracy: this is how a new algorithm can change the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease
A biomarker detects Alzheimer's decades before symptoms appear
Two new studies promote light neurofilament, a particular protein, as a promising early indicator of neurodegenerative diseases.
The vaccine against Alzheimer's is closer after the results on mice
Preventive treatment for dementia, Alzheimer's vaccine advances towards clinical trial after successful animal testing.
In 2 months of testing recovered 1 year of cognitive decline from Alzheimer's
The test showed “remarkable and clinically important” results. Patients undergoing treatment recovered one year of cognitive abilities.
Alzheimer's, soon the vaccine
The Alzheimer's vaccine will be ready within 5 years. A good result, for a disease that scares many people. The development of a vaccine against Alzheimer's could be a matter of years now, as emerges from a study by Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia, published in the journal Nature. The first tests on humans will be carried out by 2018. And it doesn't end here. In the future, Alzheimer's disease could be diagnosed early, with ad hoc tests, perhaps a blood test... Read more
Neural technology can help people recover lost memories
Scientists have developed a method that, via electrical impulses to the brain, helps people recover memories and live better.
Breast therapy, we are getting closer to "curing" old age
Senolytic drugs act on the removal of senescent cells, harmful “elderly” cells that cause inflammation and dysfunctions typical of aging. Breast therapy is increasingly concrete.
