Medicine & TechnologyRegularly consumption of antioxidant-rich foods could help maintain the health of somatic cells and keep brain cells healthy, which prevent the onset of Alzheimer's disease.
Researchers from Florida State University College of Medicine found that certain personality traits predict higher chances of developing Alzheimer's disease.
Researchers discovered a mechanism associated with the gut microbiome that explains how a chemical compound found in basil can help protect the brain from developing Alzheimer's disease.
In a world-first discovery, researchers have observed how blood oxygen levels in the brain affect memory loss, a precursor to the development of Alzheimer's disease.
Experts started focusing on what might be occurring in the brain, other than aging and unfortunate genes, which could answer why women have higher rates of diseases, specifically anxiety disorder and Alzheimer's disease.
Eli Lily published detailed reports on the efficacy of Phase 2 clinical trials of donanemab, supporting the controversial amyloid hypothesis. Experts believe it could revolutionize Alzheimer's therapies.
According to IBM researchers, it is possible to predict who is likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease by simply looking at writing pattern years prior to the occurrence of symptoms.
Researchers discovered that YKL-40 is both controlled by clock genes and engaged in clearing away, possibly toxic accumulation of 'Alzheimer's proteins in the brain.'
Experts looked at risk factors, including noise from roads, railways, aircraft, industry, and construction work. The noise increase led to higher odds of mild cognitive impairment.
Up to date, there has not been effective treatment for dementia and Alzheimer's disease. With researchers discovering how fructose metabilsm affects neuronal function, it may help develop preventive measures of risk factors such as type 2 diabetes and obesity.
After receiving a grant of $1.5 million from US philanthropists, including Bill Gates, neurologists from Imperial College London and UK Dementia Research Institute will be testing their new technology in which they will fire electric currents deep in the brain of those with Alzheimer's disease to try to cure dementia.
