Saving Neurons May Offer New Approach for Treating Alzheimer’s Disease
According to researchers, the compound P7C3 may help to protect against neuron death and memory problems associated with Alzheimer's disease without altering the buildup of amyloid plaques or neurofibrillary tangles in rat brains.... Read More...
Blood Test Identifies Key Alzheimer’s Marker
Researchers have devised a new blood test that can detect if amyloid had begun to accumulate in the brain. The test help physicians diagnose Alzheimer's disease in a cheaper, less invasive way than currently available. The researchers will present their findings at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference in London. ... Read More...
Sleep Problems May Be An Early Sign of Alzheimer’s
A new study links sleep problems with increased biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease. Researchers discovered those who report low sleep quality, daytime sleepiness and other sleep problems had elevated levels of Alzheimer's related biomarkers in their spinal fluid than those who reported no sleep problems. However, no abnormalities were found in the spinal fluid of people with obstructive sleep apnea.... Read More...
