Researchers at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner Research Institute say they’ve found a way to break up clots of amyloid peptides in the brain that are a signature of Alzheimer’s Disease.

AI COULD SPOT ALZHEIMER’S SIGNALS YEARS BEFORE SYMPTOMS APPEAR
Scientists at San Francisco’s Gladstone Institute have created an AI that can see early hints of Alzheimer’s Disease in subtle behavioral changes potentially years before diagnosable symptoms appear.
CANCER DRUGS RESCUE MOUSE BRAINS FROM ALZHEIMER’S
A new class of drugs developed to treat brain, blood, and breast cancers also relieves symptoms of Alzheimer’s Disease in mice.
ALZHEIMER’S IS NOW A LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH
Alzheimer’s disease, a severe form of dementia, affected an estimated 6.7 million Americans in 2023.[1] It is not pretty to lose your mind, as many of you know from firsthand experience with relatives or friends.
ENZYME MAY BE KEY TO ALZHEIMER’S
Clots of amyloid and tau proteins gumming up spaces between brain cells are signs of Alzheimer’s Disease but are no longer thought to be its cause.
USING LIGHT AND SOUND TO DEFEAT ALZHEIMER’S
Clicking sounds and flickering lights have been shown to slow the progression of Alzheimer’s Disease and even reverse symptoms in some cases, according to studies at several research centers.
CAN LIGHT THERAPY CURE ALZHEIMER’S?
At Russia’s Saratov State University, scientists were able to use light to clear away and prevent the build-up of amyloid proteins, the hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease, among brain cells.
TWO SUBSTANCES THE HUMAN BODY MAKES MAY BE KEY TO DEMENTIA AND ALZHEIMER’S
An obscure enzyme named HDAC9 may be a key to understanding the origins and prevention of Alzheimer’s Disease and dementia in general.
HOW TO PREVENT AND TREAT ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE
In 2014, Dr. Dale Bredesen published a paper demonstrating healthy lifestyle choices could reverse Alzheimer’s in 9 out of 10 patients. His team is now launching a new randomized, controlled trial at six sites. Biological aging, brain aging and epigenetics will be included in this trial, using newer blood tests that weren’t available even a few years ago.
BLOCKING ONE ENZYME COULD REVERSE ALZHEIMER’S DAMAGE
Cutting back sharply on the activity of an enzyme known as CDK5 in the brains of mice with symptoms of Alzheimer’s Disease sharply reduced the brain damage that defines the illness, according to researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
