- A new century of Alzheimer's disease research
07-25-2007 · EurekAlert!
Imagine the day when a routine visit to the family doctor includes a simple blood test to predict the risk for developing Alzheimer's disease (AD). If the test returns a worrisome result -- too many sticky brain proteins that might begin to gum up memory and thought in 10 to 15 years -- a person could be offered an aspirin-like pill to keep those proteins in check.

09-18-2007 · EurekAlert!
The chronic stress that spouses and children develop while caring for Alzheimer's disease patients may shorten the caregivers' lives by as much as four to eight years, a new study suggests. The research also provides concrete evidence that the effects of chronic stress can be seen both at the genetic and molecular level in chronic caregivers' bodies.

- Physicians enlisted in efforts to keep demented drivers off the road
12-21-2006 · EurekAlert!
The surge of baby boomers now entering their 60s means more drivers on the road who may be impaired by dementia or other cognitive impairments linked to aging. Researchers at the Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC) of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and elsewhere have developed a three-hour workshop that trains health care providers to identify potentially unsafe drivers with dementia and to encourage appropriate retirement from driving.

- New research brings initial find of Alois Alzheimer to fore once again
01-22-2007 · EurekAlert!
The two dominant proteins that determine how much blood flows through the body's arteries have been implicated in Alzheimer's disease. They offer new, surprising targets against Alzheimer's disease just as scientists are getting back in touch with the vascular roots of the disease that were first recognized early last century.

- New therapeutic target for Alzheimer's could lead to drugs without side effects
02-26-2007 · EurekAlert!
New research from Rockefeller University, published in the Feb. 26 online edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, has identified a therapeutic target, called casein kinase 1, that may be the key to halting the course of the disease. The findings, based on studies in mammalian cells, show that chemicals that block casein kinase 1 don't interfere with a closely connected essential pathway.
