Supplement Shows Promise in Blocking Amyloid in Alzheimer’s

A new study shows that oral arginine, a naturally occurring amino acid, can significantly suppress amyloid-β aggregation in Alzheimer’s disease models. Researchers found that arginine not only prevented Aβ42 from clumping but also reduced plaques and inflammation in mouse and fruit fly models carrying Alzheimer’s-related mutations.

Maternal Alzheimer’s: A Risk Factor for Brain Changes

A new study finds that inheriting Alzheimer's risk from your mother, regardless of her age at onset, is linked to increased amyloid levels in the brain. This protein is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. The findings suggest maternal history of memory impairment, even without a formal diagnosis, could be a crucial factor in identifying individuals at risk of Alzheimer's.

Mitochondrial Boost Reverses Protein Clumping in Aging and Alzheimer’s

A new study in worms reveals a core set of insoluble proteins linked to both aging and Alzheimer's disease. These proteins accumulate during normal aging and are exacerbated by amyloid beta, a hallmark of Alzheimer's.

Pathway to Treat Huntington’s & Amyloid Diseases Identified

Researchers identified the structure of the nucleus, the first step in amyloid formation associated with neurodegenerative diseases like Huntington’s. The study suggests a radical method to treat these diseases—halting the initial amyloid formation step.

Common Sleeping Pill Could Slow or Stop Alzheimer’s Disease

Suvorexant, a dual orexin receptor antagonist commonly prescribed to help treat insomnia reduced levels of the Alzheimer's-associated amyloid beta protein in the brain. The findings hint that the sleep medication could slow or stop Alzheimer's disease, but researchers say more research is needed to confirm the viability of the approach.

Study Supports Amyloid Hypothesis for Alzheimer’s but Suggests Alternative Treatment

A new study provides additional evidence for the "amyloid hypothesis" of Alzheimer's disease, reporting amyloid beta sparks an alliance between two proteins in neurons. This pairing is linked to half of the gene changes associated with Alzheimer's disease.

MIND and Mediterranean Diets Associated With Fewer Alzheimer’s Plaques and Tangles

People who follow diets rich in leafy greens, olive oil, nuts, and fish, such as the MIND or Mediterranean diet, have fewer amyloid plaques and Tau tangles in their brains than those who follow a more conventional diet.
