Early research findings may lead to new treatments for the disease
UCLA scientists and colleagues from UC Riverside and the Human BioMolecular Research Institute have found that a form of vitamin D, together with a chemical found in turmeric spice called curcumin, may help stimulate the immune system to clear the brain of amyloid beta, which [...]

US scientists say they have successfully reversed the effects of Alzheimer’s with experimental drugs.
The drugs target and boost the function of a newly pinpointed gene involved in the brain’s memory formation.

This article from Neurobiological Aging reports that users of anti-inflammatory drugs not only have a reduced incidence of Alzheimer’s disease, but also show significantly less age-related brain atrophy, suggesting inflammation may be one of the causes of the cognitive decline commonly seen in the elderly.
Examples of anti-inflammatory substances include the Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs), such [...]

Alzheimer’s researchers at the UCLA Department of Neurology, in collaboration with Mt. Sinai School of Medicine in New York, have discovered a possible mechanism for how red wine might help reduce the incidence of Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
Polyphenols are a group of chemical substances found in plants, characterized by the presence of more than one phenol [...]
