Researchers publishing in Alzheimer's and Dementia have published a correlation between the Alzheimer's-linked protein tau and another protein, bisecting N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc), which suggests its usefulness as a biomarker. The need for early prediction This paper begins with a note that to be effective, Alzheimer's treatment must begin before irrevocable neurodegeneration has already occurred [1]. Therefore,...

A group of researchers has confirmed the neuroprotective effect of blueberry extract and identified a possible mechanism of action that might facilitate drug development [1]. The delicious cure? Blueberries have long been on the list of "superfoods" that supposedly protect our health and maybe help us live a bit longer. Flavonoids, a class of plant-derived...

In a recent study, researchers from the Buck Institute have shown that cellular senescence, one of the hallmarks of aging, is partially responsible for Alzheimer's disease. Why we Age: Cellular SenescenceAs your body ages, more of your cells become senescent. Senescent cells do not divide or support the tissues of which they are part; instead,...
