Indications of Alzheimer’s disease may be evident decades before first signs of cognitive impairment

Researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine have found that patients with Alzheimer's disease have lower glucose utilization in the brain than those with normal cognitive function, and that those decreased levels may be detectable approximately 20 years prior to the first symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.

Brain Cell Destruction Blocked in Parkinson’s Disease Models with SR-3306

Scientists show that SR-3306 delivered orally to mice and rat models of Parkinson's disease was able to protect brain cells from neurodegeneration. SR-3306 inhibits the c-jun-N-terminal kinases (JNK) class of enzymes, previously shown to play large roles in neuron survival.
