Although there is currently no known cure for Alzheimer's, there are treatments that can lessen its symptoms, including disorientation and memory loss, and some may even stop the disease's progression

New Alzheimer's treatment could reverse brain disease and restore memory, study finds

A new study from the UK Dementia Research Institute reveals that oligodendrocytes, non-neuronal brain cells, produce amyloid beta, a key protein in Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers demonstrated that suppressing amyloid beta production in these cells in a mouse model can alleviate abnormal neuronal hyperactivity, suggesting a new therapeutic approach to treating Alzheimer’s by targeting oligodendrocytes.

Unsettling Alzheimer’s Theories: The Surprising Impact of Brain Support Cells

The small pill that's well-known for treating erectile dysfunction and pulmonary hypertension might just provide the key to one of the biggest challenges of our time: Alzheimer's disease. Surprisingly, Tadalafil is now emerging in the scientific spotlight for its potential to protect and revitalize the aging brain. Recent research has shown that this unexpected connection could transform our methods of addressing Alzheimer's, providing fresh hope in the battle against cognitive decline. We're here to explore the revolutionary science surrounding Tadalafil and its unexpected role in safeguarding brain health.

BETHESDA, Md. — In a groundbreaking discovery, researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have found that a simple daily supplement could help save the eyesight of people with late-stage dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Their new study published in the journal Ophthalmology offers hope to millions of older adults worldwide who are affected by this sight-threatening condition.

Vision loss breakthrough: Scientists find AREDS2 supplements slow macular degeneration

In a new analysis of data, researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have found that taking a daily supplement containing antioxidant vitamins and minerals slows progression of late-stage dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD), potentially helping people with late-stage disease preserve their central vision. Researchers reviewed the original retinal scans of participants in the Age-Related Eye Diseases Studies (AREDS and AREDS2) and found that, for people with late-stage dry AMD, taking the antioxidant supplement slowed expansion of geographic atrophy regions towards the central foveal region of the retina. The study was published in the journal Ophthalmology.

Scientists have found an unlikely anti-aging drug in the form of an anti-inflammatory drug that is designed to inhibit an inflammatory molecule known as interleukin-11 (IL-11). The drug was found to extend the lifespan of mice by almost 20 percent.
This is a surprising and exciting development, as scientists have been looking for ways to stop or even reverse aging for decades. Typically, inflammation is considered a good thing. It can help our bodies fight off disease and protect us from injury.
However, like anything good, too much can actually be bad, and too much inflammation can cause cells to become damaged...
