• VTT and GE Healthcare developing novel biomarkers to predict Alzheimer’s disease

  Scientists from VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland in collaboration with the University of Eastern Finland have recently discovered a serum biochemical signature which predicts progression to Alzheimer’s disease months or even years before the first symptoms of the disease occur. The goal of t more

• Single-neuron observations mark steps in Alzheimer's disease
  

  Studying a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease, neuroscientists at the Technische Universitaet Muenchen have observed correlations between increases in both soluble and plaque-forming beta-amyloid – a protein implicated in the disease process – and dysfunctional developments on several levels: indivi more

• Alzheimer's disease spreads through linked nerve cells, brain imaging studies suggest

  Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia may spread within nerve networks in the brain by moving directly between connected neurons, instead of in other ways proposed by scientists, such as by propagating in all directions, according to researchers who report the finding in Neuron.Led by neur more
