- Protein inhibitor tangles with Alzheimer's disease
02-15-2007 · EurekAlert!
A hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the abnormal accumulation of phosphorylated forms of a protein known as tau. In a new study, Mayo Clinic researchers have now shown in mice that a drug that inhibits the function of the protein Hsp90 (EC102) reduces the amount of phosphorylated tau in the brain. Unlike many drugs, EC102 is able to cross the blood-brain barrier, making it a highly promising therapeutic candidate for AD.

- No proof that growth hormone therapy makes you live longer, Stanford study finds
01-15-2007 · EurekAlert!
Surveyors of anti-aging elixirs tout human growth hormone as a remedy for all things sagging-from skin to libidos -- and claim it can even prevent or reverse aging. But researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine say there's no evidence to suggest that this purported fountain of youth has any more effect than a trickle of tap water when it comes to fending off Father Time.
