“The amyloid plaques build up outside of the nerve cells [in the brain] and now we know that when the nerve cells interact with the plaque, it causes the nerve cell to make a tangle inside,” explains Rudy Tanzi, Ph.D., director of the Alzheimer’s Genome Project and a leading rese...
Normal levels of glutamate facilitate learning, but too much can cause brain cells to die. Namenda has been somewhat effective in delaying the progression of symptoms in later Alzheimer's disease. Amyloid Beta-Directed Antibody In 2021, the FDA approved the immunotherapy medication Aduhelm (...
” and while scientists are pretty certain about what causes it—a buildup ofamyloidprotein plaques in the brain—they still don’t have an answer for how to prevent or cure the unrelentingly grim condition.
The findings suggest that the interplay between amyloid-beta and tau lead to altered brain activity before noticeable cognitive symptoms appear. In a follow-up study, Rudolf plans to rescan the same participants over time to prove whether the accumulation of the two proteins promotes further ...
As the cell continues to divide and spread, the infected cells begin to die off leading to damaged brain connections. Scientists believe that plaques and tangles are the cause of the disease. Plaques are “deposits of a protein fragment called beta-amyloid that build up in the spaces between ...
is an opening up of certain barriers between the brain and the rest of the circulation that might allow amyloid protein to be properly cleared,” saysArjun Masurkar, MD, PhD, assistant professor of neurology at New York University’s Langone Health Center for Cognitive Neurology in New York ...
Huddersfield researchers were among the first to demonstrate how the induction of brain inflammation accounts for neurological damage in COVID19 patients and now, their findings have been published in a peer-reviewed medical ...

Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) is found in cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage, cauliflower, and broccoli.99 When I3C was administered to rodents given cancer-causing chemicals (carcinogens), the number of tumors was reduced by up to 96%. I3C has been shown to extend the length of the time ...
2.1. Liver-brain axis The liver serves as the primary location for both lipid synthesis and breakdown, in addition to its role in converting lipids into biologically usable forms, thereby facilitating their distribution throughout the organism. The liver-brain axis closely interacts with the central...
