A Queen's University study sheds new light on the way one of our cell enzymes, implicated in causing tissue damage after heart attacks and strokes, is normally kept under control.
Led by Biochemistry professor Peter Davies, the research team's discovery will be useful in developing new drug treatments that can aid recovery in stroke and heart disease, as well as lessen the effects of Alzheimer's and other neurologically degenerative diseases

People who manage to keep a razor-sharp memory well into their 80s appear to have fewer fiber-like tangles of a protein linked with Alzheimer's than those who age normally, U.S. researchers said on Sunday.

For the first time, researchers have shown that a commonly used anesthetic can produce changes associated with Alzheimer's disease in the brains of living mammals, confirming previous laboratory studies: Use of the gas isoflurane can lead to the generation of the toxin amyloid beta.

WASHINGTON, Oct 30 (Reuters) - Researchers combing the human gene map have found four more areas that affect the risk of Alzheimer's disease and believe the studies are starting to point to new and better treatments.
Some of the genes, associated with the most common form of Alzheimer's, appear linked to known genetic risks for the degenerative brain disorder, the team at Harvard Medical School in Boston reported on Thursday.

Scientists have discovered a gene that raises the risk of late-onset Alzheimer's disease by as much as 77 percent and provides scientists with a second genetic target for developing new treatments for the disorder.
One copy of the gene, called calcium homeostasis modulator 1, or CALHM1, increases the likelihood of late-onset Alzheimer's by 44 percent, while two copies boost the risk 77 percent. About a quarter of the population has one copy, said study author Philippe Marambaud from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York. The research was published in the journal Cell

The report found there were 411,000 new cases of Alzheimer's in 2000, a number expected to grow to 454,000 new cases a year by 2010.
PS:
Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia. It starts out with mild memory loss and confusion but escalates into complete memory loss and an inability to care for oneself.
There is no cure and the handful of drugs that can treat Alzheimer's only slow its progression for a short time.

Medical experts in the North-East of England, UK, have found that safe exposure to infra-red light improves learning and cognitive functioning in the brain, and they are going to test the method by getting Alzheimer's patients to wear an infra-red "helmet" for a short time every day.
Mild Exercise May Counter Dementia
