TB Vaccine Flushes Alzheimer’s Amyloid

The BCG vaccine remodels the human brain’s immune environment via trained immunity. Tracking older adults over one year, researchers demonstrated that BCG enhances central nervous system immune cell responsiveness and lowers amyloid-beta levels in the cerebrospinal fluid of healthy individuals, offering an early preventative pathway against Alzheimer's disease.

Using “Left-Handed” Proteins to Block Alzheimer’s

Researchers designed a "mirror-image" protein that disables amyloid-beta, the primary cause of Alzheimer's plaques. By exploiting molecular chirality, the team created a "right-handed" interceptor that prevents toxic proteins from clumping.

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.
