Prevailing Alzheimer’s Theory in Question With New Discovery

Study finds amyloid-beta plaques may not be the cause of memory loss associated with Alzheimer's disease, but instead a consequence of the disease. Regardless of the levels of amyloid plaques, researchers found individuals with high levels of amyloid peptide were cognitively normal. Higher levels of soluble amyloid beta peptide were also linked to people having a larger hippocampus.

Differences in Human, Mouse Brain Cells Have Important Implications for Disease Research

A new study reveals humans and mice have significant differences in how oxidative stress and inflammation trigger immune response genes in astrocytes. Researchers suggest lab models of neurodegeneration should incorporate specially engineered mouse models with lower resistance to oxidative stress, rendering them more human-like.
