Potential new drug candidate found for Alzheimer's disease

Posted: 31 May 2011 10:57 AM PDT

Researchers have demonstrated that oral administration of a cysteine protease

inhibitor, E64d, not only reduces the build-up of beta-amyloid in the brains of

animal models for Alzheimer's disease, but also results in a substantial

improvement in memory deficit.

Half of patients with Parkinson's disease and psychosis treated with

antipsychotic agents, including drugs that may worsen Parkinson symptoms

Posted: 12 Jul 2011 04:21 PM PDT

Half of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and psychosis receive

prescriptions for anti-psychotic (AP) agents, including drugs that have the

potential to worsen Parkinson symptoms, and the frequency of use of these agents

has not changed since a warning about using these drugs in patients with

dementia and PD was issued, according to a new study.

Single traumatic brain injury may prompt long-term neurodegeneration

Scientists connect gene to Alzheimer’s precondition

How a gene linked to both Alzheimer's disease and type 2 diabetes works

Single traumatic brain injury may prompt long-term neurodegeneration

Posted: 18 Jul 2011 02:14 PM PDT

In a new study, researchers suggest that Alzheimer's disease-like

neurodegeneration may be initiated or accelerated following a single traumatic

brain injury, even in young adults.

Scientists connect gene to Alzheimer’s precondition

Posted: 18 Jul 2011 11:25 AM PDT

Connecting a human gene to the risk of developing the Alzheimer's precondition

known as mild cognitive impairment has been somewhat of a holy grail for

scientists, but now a team of scientists has ended the quest.

How a gene linked to both Alzheimer's disease and type 2 diabetes works

Posted: 18 Jul 2011 09:17 AM PDT

Researchers have identified how a gene for a protein that can cause type 2

diabetes, also possibly kills nerve cells in the brain, thereby contributing to

Alzheimer's disease.
