CaMKII Can Be Regulated to Mitigate Alzheimer’s
Summary: The CaMKII protein, critical in brain and heart function, can be regulated to mitigate Alzheimer’s and heart conditions using three types of drug inhibitors. Their findings reveal that these…
New studies suggest millions with mild cognitive impairment go undiagnosed, often until it’s too late
Mild cognitive impairment – an early stage of dementia – is widely underdiagnosed in people 65 and older. That is the key takeaway of two recent studies from our team.…
Healthy Diet Slows Aging and Lowers Dementia Risk
Summary: Researchers linked healthier diets to a reduced risk of dementia and a slower pace of biological aging, unveiling the partial mechanism behind this protective effect. Researchers applied the DunedinPACE…
Blood Immunity Altered in Alzheimer’s
Summary: A new study reveals epigenetic alterations in the immune system of Alzheimer’s patients’ blood, suggesting environmental or behavioral factors could influence Alzheimer’s risk. The study indicates these epigenetic changes…
Sleep can give athletes an edge over competitors − but few recognize how fundamental sleep is to performance
In the adrenaline-packed world of professional sports, the power of sleep rarely gets adequate attention. A healthy sleep pattern can be a stealthy game plan for athletes to gain an…
Alzheimer’s Alters COVID-19 Response in Olfactory Cells
Summary: Researchers uncovered how Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) impacts COVID-19 outcomes through changes in the olfactory mucosal cells. Their study focused on individuals with AD who experienced exacerbated COVID-19 symptoms. Using…
Brain Cell Genetics Illuminate Alzheimer’s Disease Pathways
Summary: Researchers made a significant advance in understanding Alzheimer’s disease (AD) by pinpointing how specific brain cells contribute to different stages of the disease. Employing single nucleus RNA sequencing, they…
Used Coffee Grounds Hold Potential Key to Treating Neurodegenerative Diseases
Summary: Researchers found that Carbon Quantum Dots (CACQDs) derived from used coffee grounds could protect brain cells from damage caused by neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. CACQDs showed neuroprotective…
