Posttraumatischer Stress häufig bei Migräne-Patienten The Quantified Self e-volution: Biochemistry news Alzheimer’s drug candidate may be first to prevent disease progression A new drug candidate may be the first capable of halting the devastating mental decline of Alzheimer’s disease, based on the findings of a study published today in PLoS ONE. When given to mice with Alzheimer’s, the drug, known as J147, improved memory and prevented brain damage caused by the disease. The new compound, developed by scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, could be tested for treatment of the disease in humans in the near future. “J147 enhances memory in both normal and Alzheimer’s mice and also protects the brain from the loss of synaptic connections,” says David Schubert, the head of Salk’s Cellular Neurobiology Laboratory, whose team developed the new drug. “No drugs on the market for Alzheimer’s have both of these properties.” Scientists are unclear what causes Alzheimer’s, which appears to emerge from a complex mix of genetics, environment and lifestyle factors.

His medical issues began in 1989 when he received his first Hodgkin's disease diagnosis as a high school senior. Two years later, Garlett learned he had secondary leukemia as a result of chemotherapy to treat the Hodgkin's, and three more years of chemotherapy ensued. And after five years on the waiting list, he received a new heart in 2006. Now, the 37-year-old savors his body's capabilities. "It's kind of like the starving person who all of a sudden finds himself in front of a buffet.
