Health and Medicine |Dr Mason explains: ‘In neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's, aggregation (or clumping) of proteins into toxic fibrils (or chains) is considered to be the key pathoge...
Life Sciences |Researchers say this may explain why approximately 30 percent of patients with epilepsy do not respond to antiepileptic medications. The study, conducted by researchers at the National Institute of En...
Studies and Analyses |Alzheimer’s disease (AD) affects as much as 10% of the world population above 65 years of age but after years of research it is still not understood exactly how the disease appears and, even less, how...
Health and Medicine |According to the results now published, stress induces the production of amyloid beta (Aâ) peptide – the molecule associated with the neural plaques characteristic of the disease – and also makes neur...
Life Sciences |Latest research by Professor Thomas Bayer from University Medicine Center Göttingen carries the promise of developing new treatments. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerativ...
Health and Medicine |University of South Florida neuroscientist Brian Giunta, MD, reported the findings May 1 at Experimental Biology 2007 in Washington, DC. His presentation was part of the scientific program of the Amer...
Life Sciences |The researchers said that their findings support developing early treatments that aim to reduce levels of prion protein in the brains of people with prion disease. Also, they said that their findings ...
