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. 
Neurodegenerative disease: Are amyloids the culprit?
sea-maid submitted, created time 2 weeks 5 days (www.nature.com)
Amyloid- (A) peptides are thought to have a key role in the neurotoxicity and cognitive decline that occur in Alzheimer's disease (AD), but there have recently been several disappointments with late-stage clinical trials of agents that target A. Two recent papers in Nature Medicine shed light on the mechanisms through which A could contribute to the aetiology of AD and identify novel targets for drug development, as well as compounds that modulate these targets.
One of the ways in which A is thought to contribute to the pathogenesis of AD is by disrupting mitochondrial function

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.

According to a study from the Boston University School of Medicine, neither Celebrex nor Naproxen (both belonging to the class of NSAIDs) preserves mental function in Alzheimer's patients.
Dementia Study-- Brain size may protect Alzheimer's patients from memory loss

Having a large hippocampus - a part of the brain involved with memory - seems to provide protection against the symptoms of dementia, a study suggests.
More than five million Americans have Alzheimer's

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.
Diabetes study has surprising results

The doctors' challenge: explain to 21 million Americans with diabetes how they might be affected by a major study's surprise discovery that lower blood sugar levels are linked to greater numbers of deaths.
Alzheimer's Hat Draws Skepticism

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.
Brain gene map: a route to Alzheimer's cure?
yangjane submitted, created time 1 year 2 weeks (www.theregister.co.uk)
A new catalogue of genes, and the proteins they trigger in the brain, could help scientists develop new treatments for neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's. The database has been created by researchers at UCL and the University of Miami, who have spent years mapping the expression of genes in the brain.
