- High blood sugar makes Alzheimer’s plaque more toxic to the brain
High blood-sugar levels, such as those linked with Type 2 diabetes, make beta amyloid protein associated with Alzheimer’s disease dramatically more toxic to cells lining blood vessels in the brain, according to a new study.
- Untangling Alzheimer's disease
A team of researchers has identified a specific set of microRNA molecules that detrimentally regulate protein levels in the brains of mice with Alzheimer’s disease. By targeting these molecules, they hope to move closer toward earlier detection and better treatment of the debilitating condition.
