Genes Linked To Alzheimer’s Are The Same For Early- And Late-Onset
The same gene mutations linked to inherited, early-onset Alzheimer’s disease have been found in people with the more common late-onset form of the illness. The discovery by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis may lead doctors and researchers to change the way Alzheimer’s disease is classified…

No commentsAlzheimer’s-Related Protein In Brains Of Healthy Adults May Shed Light On Earliest Signs Of Disease
Researchers from the Center for Vital Longevity at the University of Texas at Dallas and UT Southwestern Medical Center have completed a large-scale neuroimaging study of healthy adults from age 30 to 90 that measured beta-amyloid protein – a substance whose toxic buildup in the brain is a diagnostic marker for Alzheimer’s disease…

No commentsAlzheimer’s Disease May Spread By ‘Spreading’ From One Brain Region To Another
The way in which Alzheimer’s Disease spreads in the brain has been the subject of debate for many years. Two opposing theories have the disease starting independently in weakened brain regions over time, or it beginning in one region and then spreading neuroanatomically connected areas…

No commentsInfrared Analysis Of White Blood Cells Is A Promising Strategy For Diagnosis Of Alzheimer’s Disease
Spanish researchers, led by Pedro Carmona from the Instituto de Estructura de la Materia in Madrid, have uncovered a new promising way to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease more accurately. Their technique, which is non-invasive, fast and low-cost, measures how much infrared radiation is either emitted or absorbed by white blood cells…
