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
