Giving mice with Alzheimer’s a canola oil-rich diet for six months led to their memory and learning ability worsening, a study reports. The research, “Effect of canola oil consumption on memory, synapse and neuropathology in the triple transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease,” was published in the journal Scientific Reports.
The naturally occurring hormone klotho improved cognition in mouse models of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, according to a University of California medical center study. Researchers said the findings could lead to new therapies for the neurological disorders. The study that the team published in Cell Reports was titled “Peripheral Elevation of a Klotho…
New insights into how nerve cells communicate to control learning and memory are likely to affect how researchers view, and treat, neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease. British researchers at universities in Bristol and Central Lancashire have discovered they can control a process known as long-term potentiation (LTP) — strengthening the…
In a new study entitled “Human umbilical cord blood-derived monocytes improve cognitive deficits and reduce ß-amyloid pathology in PSAPP mice” an international team of scientists showed that infusion of human umbilical cord blood cells (HUCBCs) into a mice model of Alzheimer’s disease improves animals’ cognitive performance by clearing amyloid-beta (Aβ)…
