Alzheimer’s will be reversible (it worked with mice!)
Alzheimer; News from the web:
Research carried out by a team at University College London andrecently reported in the journal Current Biology details how molecular changes at the synapse damage memory and suggests ways that the memory loss associated with Alzheimer’s may be prevented and possibly reversed.

Good news, new research shows promising protein role in reversing Alzheimer’s
Alzheimer; News from the web:
The authors demonstrate, for the first time, that a modified strain of mice generated to display human-like symptoms of Alzheimer’s show significant cognitive improvements, including a reversal of spatial memory deficit, when the brain’s expression of p62 is restored.
The study further shows that the improvement is associated with reduced levels of Aβ and associated plaques in the brain. Finally, the new research describes the mechanism by which p62 activity improves Alzheimer’s disease symptoms in mice — by a process known as autophagy. The term refers to the degradation or disassembly of unnecessary or dysfunctional components of cells — a form of biological recycling essential for cellular health.

Protein build up in brains researched
Alzheimer; News from the web:
Despite decades of research, the molecular mechanisms behind Alzheimer’s disease are poorly understood. New research investigating the pattern of protein build-up in Alzheimer’s brains may open the door to a deeper understanding.
