Enzyme against Alzheimer
Alzheimer; News from the web:
Scientists at the Mayo clinic have discoved that an enzyme known as BACE2 is particularly effective at breaking down beta-amyloid, widely known for being a factor in Alzheimer’s disease.
Although it is not the first enzyme found to have this function, BACE2 is certainly more effective at breaking beta-amyloid down. Now the scientists want to find out if a BACE2 impairment can increase the risk of getting the disease, this may then contain valuable new clues about the origin of the disease.

Ginkgo Biloba Doesn’t Prevent Alzheimer’s
Alzheimer; News from the web:
Well the article in the Huffington post this morning certainly burst the bubble of many people who had relied on this herb.
A trail in France, an article in the Lancet for Neurology and an opinion from the Alzheimer association killed the hype and the consensus is that anyone who buys this over the counter herb in the expectation that it will do anything to slow down or prevent the disease, is wasting their money.
