          Alzheimer Protein App Regulates Learning and Social Behavior in the Healthy Brain

          APP, a protein commonly associated with Alzheimer's disease, plays a vital role in learning, memory, and social behavior in the developing brain, a new mouse study finds.

          Some Alzheimer’s Plaques May Be Protective, Not Destructive

          Microglia creates dense-core plaques which help to clear away more wispy plaques from neurons, preventing cell death. Findings suggest the dense-core plaques play a defensive role in protecting the brain from the ravages of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's.

          Your genes aren’t the only factor dictating Alzheimer’s risk

          While genetics may increase your risk of developing dementia, other factors such as lifestyle and environment may play a key role in the development and progression of Alzheimer's disease.

          Common nutrient supplement choline may hold the answers to combating Alzheimer’s

          Taking dietary choline supplements may help to protect the brain from Alzheimer's disease. Choline reduces the activation of microglia which, when overactivated, contribute to neuroinflammation and apoptosis associated with Alzheimer's. Choline also helps block the production of amyloid plaques.

          How ‘Australian’ mutation leads to Alzheimer’s disease

          The 'Australian' familial genetic mutation, L723P, causes local unfolding of the C-terminal turn of the APP TM dominant helix. The findings suggest a mechanism of pathogenesis associated with the mutation.

          High LDL cholesterol linked to early-onset Alzheimer’s

          Elevated levels of LDL cholesterol has been linked to an increased risk of early-onset Alzheimer's disease, in those with and without a genetic risk factor. This suggests cholesterol could be an independent risk factor for dementia. Additionally, researchers identified a potential new genetic risk factor for early-onset Alzheimer's, a rare variant of the APOB gene.
