Scientists establish link between inflammatory process and progression of Alzheimer's disease
( University of Massachusetts Medical School ) Researchers from UMass Medical School have shown that a well-known inflammatory process plays an important role in Alzheimer's disease. This process, which results in the mature production of the pro-inflammatory cytokine called interleukin-1 beta and is involved in the body's defense against infection, has also been established as a clinical target … Continue reading

Aruna Hari Sharma in Welcome Reception by Albert II, Prince of Monaco, 5th CTAD Oct 29th, 2012.mov Aruna Hari Sharma from Uppsala University were invited to present their novel results on cerebrolysin in Alzheimer's disease therapy to reduce brain pathology in animal models in the 5th Clinical Trials in Alzheimer's Disease Conference, Monte Carlo, Monaco, October 28-31, 2012. In this video, Prince of Monaco, Albert II gave the welcome reception and presented his vision for better health care in Monaco. Before that Aruna Hari Sharma were shown the rare parts of the museum and good view of sea from the rooftop of the oceanographic museum at night. Continue reading
Alzheimer's tech spray being developed
A nanotechnology nasal spray is being developed that could transform the early detection and treatment of Alzheimer’s. The device shoots tiny magnetic particles into the nose which enter the bloodstream and are carried to the brain. Each particle is fused to an antibody that targets and binds to rogue molecules believed to play an early role in the disease. Continue reading
Princeton scientists using nanotech to make cancer 3 million times more detectable
Scientists at Princeton University say they have used nanotechnology to make tests to detect diseases, like cancer and Alzheimer’s disease, 3 million times more sensitive. That means what researchers are calling a breakthrough in nanotechnology and medicine could enable doctors to detect these illnesses at much earlier stages, when they are more treatable. “This advance opens many new and exciting opportunities ..

Molecular imaging detects signs of Alzheimer's in healthy patients
Public release date: 11-Jun-2012 [ | E-mail | Share ] Contact: Susan Martonik smartonik@snm.org 703-652-6773 Society of Nuclear Medicine Miami Beach, Fla. (June 11, 2012)An arsenal of Alzheimer’s research revealed at the Society of Nuclear Medicine’s 59th Annual Meeting indicates that beta-amyloid plaque in the brain not only is involved in the pathology of Alzheimer’s disease but may also precede even mild cognitive decline. These and other studies advance molecular imaging for the early detection of beta-amyloid, for which one product is now approved in the United States , as a major push forward in the race for better treatments Continue reading
