Where Does Alzheimer's Treatment Go From Here?



Fluorescent deconvolution micrograph of cultured glial cells expressing tau protein (in red). Glial cells are nervous system cells that provide structural support and protection for neurons (nerve cells). Accumulation of tau in brain tissue is linked with a number of neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's Falls More Heavily on Women than on Men

Distinct biological and genetic factors may shape how it progresses in women—and understanding them could be crucial to prevention, diagnosis and treatment

For more than 25 years, Mary Read was a successful nurse in Lititz, Pennsylvania. But in 2010, at the age of 50, she started having trouble with her memory and thinking, making it difficult for her to complete routine tasks and follow instructions at work. The problems worsened, bringing her career to an abrupt end. In 2011, her doctor conducted a comprehensive evaluation, including a cognitive assessment, and found that she was in the early stages of younger-onset Alzheimer’s, which affects hundreds of thousands of people under 65.

Remember This: A Q&A on Alzheimer’s Disease And A Free Memory Screening Event























It’s easy to forget but forgetfulness is a part of life, a natural consequence of aging. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by the progressive decline in memory and other cognitive skills, but it is not natural. Its cause — or causes — are not fully understood, but appear to involve abnormal accumulations of protein that form plaques and tangles in the brain. These damage nerve cells and impair brain function.

Alzheimer's: Proteomics gives clues toward alternatives to amyloid

Protein + gene modules converge on glial cells, inflammation

In Alzheimer's research, one particular protein looms large: plaque-forming amyloid-beta. Yet doctors now recognize that plaques can accumulate decades before symptoms appear. Recent clinical trials aimed at controlling or removing amyloid-beta have largely been disappointing.

Brain challenge test might be able to predict Alzheimer's decades earlier: VIDEO


























Right now, a spinal fluid test can signal Alzheimer’s disease up to twenty years before clinical onset. The proteins beta-amyloid and tau are established markers of Alzheimer’s, and changes in their levels may signal disease. Someday, a simple test at the computer and non-invasive EEG scan may do the same thing.

Flickering LED lights could treat Alzheimer's disease: VIDEO




























Image Source: DAILYMAIL

Twinkling lights aren't just pretty -- if they're flickering at a specific frequency, they could also treat Alzheimer's disease. A group of researchers  tested the effectiveness of LED lights flashing at 40 hertz as a treatment for Alzheimer's on mice genetically engineered to develop the condition. They found that exposing mice in the early stages of Alzheimer's to the lights for an hour lowered the  protein levels in their brains.  accumulates to form plaques that interfere with normal brain function. Further, when they used the same technique on mice already in the advanced stages of the disease for seven days, they found that the method "markedly reduced" the plaques in their brains.

Toward Treating Alzheimer’s Disease with Brain Waves




















PICOWER INSTITUTE FOR LEARNING AND MEMORY

In a mouse model, researchers mitigated three Alzheimer’s disease–associated symptoms by stimulating gamma waves with light.

When brain cells fire rhythmically and in sync, they produce waves, which are categorized by their firing frequencies. Delta waves (1.5 Hz to 4 Hz), for example, are produced during deep sleep, theta waves (4 Hz to 12 Hz) occur during running and deep meditation, and gamma waves (25 Hz to 100 Hz) are associated with excitement and concentration. Disruption of gamma waves could be a key contributor to Alzheimer’s disease pathology, according to a mouse study published today (December 7) in Nature. And the restoration of these waves, researchers propose, may one day be an option for Alzheimer’s disease treatment.

Fewer than 5 percent of cases of Alzheimer's disease have a clear genetic cause, making it hard to predict who will develop the devastating brain-wasting disorder. There is an urgent need to develop biomarkers and early treatments before the symptoms of decline take hold and destroy lives. Now, using a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease, researchers discover a link between early bone loss and brain degeneration that may begin to address this need.
