Vaccine for Alzheimer’s disease could be trialed in humans within the next 3-5 years, after researchers from the United States and Australia have uncovered a formulation that they say successfully targets brain proteins that play a role in development and progression of the disease.

Could it be possible to detect Alzheimer’s disease in the early stages with just an eye exam? That’s the possibility researchers are floating after they were able to spot signs of Alzheimer’s in the retinas of mice using a special, non-invasive camera.

An EU project has made important advances in our understanding of how catalytic molecules can treat Alzheimer’s – and other – chronic diseases.
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, with symptoms that include gradually worsening memory loss and confusion. At present there is no cure. Scientists are nonetheless confident that as we learn more about the natural processes of the body, quicker diagnoses and more effective therapies can be developed.
Indeed, the success of the EU-funded ORGANOZYMES project illustrates why medical researchers have cause for optimism. Through bringing in Spanish post-doc researcher Carlos Aydillo on a Marie Curie Intra-European Fellowship, Professor Morten Meldal, Head of the Center of Evolutionary Chemical Biology at the University of Copenhagen, has been able to make significant advances in the field of catalytic molecules.

A new study shows a gene associated with Alzheimer’s disease and recovery after brain injury may show effects on the brain and thinking skills as early as childhood.
The study, published in the July 13, 2016, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology, was authored by Dr. Linda Chang of the University of Hawaii’s John A. Burns School of Medicine.

In a study that scoured the genes of healthy young people for the presence of genetic variants linked to Alzheimer’s, researchers found that those who carried many of the telltale variations had a smaller hippocampus — a brain structure that is crucial to memory-formation — than did their peers with few variations.

A study published in the journal Neurology on Wednesday suggests that the risk factors for sporadic Alzheimer’s can be detected early in adulthood and might make a person more susceptible to cognitive decline.
