Diabetes Drug ‘Significantly Reverses Memory Loss’ in Alzheimer’s: Mouse Study

Lancaster University researchers report a drug developed to treat diabetes shows promise in reversing memory loss associated with Alzheimer's in mouse models of the disease. The drug appears to have a neuroprotective effect, enhancing brain growth factors while reducing amyloid plaques, chronic inflammation and oxidative stress. The drug also slows down the rate of neuron loss.

Lack of Sleep Boosts Levels of Alzheimer’s Protein

WUSTL researchers report a poor night's sleep can cause levels of amyloid beta to rise faster than the brain's waste disposal system can remove it. Researchers note frequent sleep disruptions can lead to an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.
