But no matter the speed of progression, the end outcome is always the same. The sixth leading cause of death in the United State, Alzheimer’s develops as … Continue reading What was Old is New Again: Scientists Transplant Brain Cells into Aged Mice and Reverse Memory Loss

Using genetically modified stem cells for treating Alzheimer’s disease
Dr. Mathew Blurton-Jones of U.C. Irvine: his new study may help open new approaches to Alzheimer's New work from UC Irvine using genetically modified stem cells to treat Alzheimer's disease offers some encouraging early signs. Alzheimer’s involves a buildup of plaques in the brain formed by excess amyloid‑beta protein. Researchers still don’t know whether this … Continue reading Using genetically modified stem cells for treating Alzheimer’s disease
