john24+FollowCancer vs. Alzheimer’s: Wild Connection?Get this: scientists just found that having cancer might actually lower your risk of Alzheimer’s. In mice, cancer cells sent out proteins that crossed into the brain and called in immune cells to clear out those nasty plaques linked to dementia. It’s not a cure (and no one’s signing up for cancer), but if researchers can figure out how to copy this effect without the cancer part, it could totally change how we fight Alzheimer’s. Wild, right? #Health #BodyHealth #Alzheimers00Share
shermandarlene+FollowAlzheimer’s Breakthroughs & a Grey’s Anatomy TwistScience is seriously shaking up the Alzheimer’s game: four next-gen treatments are on the radar, and a finger-prick blood test could make early screening way easier. Meanwhile, migraine meds (CGRP inhibitors) might come with some heart risks, and wildfire smoke during pregnancy could be linked to autism. Plus, Jamie-Lynn Sigler is playing a doctor with MS on Grey’s Anatomy—talk about art imitating life! #Health #BodyHealth #Alzheimers00Share
Kristi Key+FollowAlzheimer’s Breakthrough: New Target Found!USC scientists just found a new way to tackle Alzheimer’s! They zeroed in on an enzyme called cPLA2 that’s linked to brain inflammation in people with the APOE4 gene (aka the biggest genetic risk for Alzheimer’s). The wild part? They’ve discovered compounds that can dial down cPLA2 without messing up normal brain function. Early tests in mice look super promising. Could this be the next big step in Alzheimer’s treatment? Stay tuned! #Health #BodyHealth #Alzheimers30Share
Charles Christensen+FollowAlzheimer’s: Not Just a Brain Thing?!Mind. Blown. Top experts are now saying Alzheimer’s might actually start outside the brain—think immune system, liver, or even your metabolism—years before any memory loss kicks in. That means it could be a whole-body issue, not just a brain disorder. If true, it totally changes how we spot warning signs and treat it. Imagine catching Alzheimer’s way earlier by looking at blood or immune cells, not just brain scans! #Health #BodyHealth #Alzheimers00Share
Edward Parrish+FollowAlzheimer's Breakthrough: Total Recovery?Cleveland scientists just pulled off something wild—mice with advanced Alzheimer’s got their full brain power back! If this works in humans, it could mean a real shot at reversing dementia, not just slowing it down. Imagine what this could mean for families everywhere. Fingers crossed for the next steps! #Health #BodyHealth #Alzheimers00Share
shermandarlene+FollowAlzheimer's Breakthrough: Reversal in Mice?!Alzheimer’s might not be a one-way street after all! Scientists just reversed advanced Alzheimer’s in mice by fixing the brain’s energy balance—full cognitive recovery and everything. The secret? Boosting NAD+ levels (think: your brain’s gas tank). It’s not the usual amyloid approach, and it could even work with other treatments. Human trials are coming, but this could be a total game-changer for dementia. Fingers crossed! #Health #BodyHealth #Alzheimers10Share
john24+FollowAlzheimer’s Breakthrough: Mice Reversed!Scientists just reversed advanced Alzheimer’s in mice by tweaking a brain molecule called NAD+. The mice actually got their memories back—like, full recovery! The big question: can this work in humans? Human trials are still a few years away, but it’s wild to think we might be closer to a real Alzheimer’s treatment. FYI, NAD+ supplements are already on shelves, but docs say don’t self-medicate just yet. Imagine if this actually works for people! #Health #BodyHealth #Alzheimers60Share
April Anderson+FollowAlzheimer's Warning Sign Hiding in Brain WavesScientists just found a sneaky brain wave change that can predict Alzheimer’s over two years before you’d ever get diagnosed. They used a noninvasive scan (MEG) and spotted that people who later developed Alzheimer’s had weaker, shorter beta waves. This could be a game-changer for catching the disease early and maybe even stopping it before it starts. Imagine knowing years in advance—wild, right? #Health #BodyHealth #Alzheimers00Share
Charles Christensen+FollowScientists Might Be Closer to Stopping Alzheimer’sUCL researchers just found that a single gene, APOE, could be behind up to 90% of Alzheimer’s cases. Wild, right? They say targeting this gene and its protein might actually help prevent or treat most dementia. Imagine if a future pill could block the gene’s effects before symptoms even start. Plus, other teams are finding new ways to spot Alzheimer’s early—like with a finger-prick blood test. Huge moves in the fight against memory loss! #Health #BodyHealth #Alzheimers80Share
April Anderson+FollowThis Gene Could Be the Key to Alzheimer’sWild new research says over 90% of Alzheimer’s cases might be linked to just one gene—APOE. Turns out, the gene combo you inherit from your parents could make all the difference, and even the most common version (ε3) isn’t as harmless as we thought. Scientists are now thinking: what if we could target this gene and actually prevent Alzheimer’s for most people? Huge if true! #Health #BodyHealth #Alzheimers00Share
