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.

Alzheimer and long term memory formation

Alzheimer; News from the web:

Today’s link is a more in depth explanation of the discovery of the working of nuclear receptors. Certain nuclear receptors are essential for long-term memory formation, and  pharmaceutical approaches that boost the function of these proteins — and the molecular machinery they set in motion — could one day restore memory function in those who have lost it.

Alzheimer type 3 diabetes?

Alzheimer; News from the web:

The root causes of Alzheimer’s disease are still a scientific uncertainty, though there’s no lack of suggestions and opinions circulating in the biomedical community. But here’s one we hadn’t yet heard that is gaining traction amid increasing evidence: Alzheimer’s is primarily a metabolic disease much like diabetes. At its root, a poor diet can be the instigator of this degenerative neurological condition. The evidence is so stark that some scientists have even taken to referring to Alzheimer’s as type 3 diabetes.
