“Are the risk factors for early onset Alzheimer’s the same as late onset?” asks Domenico Praticò, MD, the Scott Richards North Star Foundation Chair for Alzheimer’s Research, Professor in the Departments of Pharmacology and Microbiology, and Director of the Alzheimer’s Center at Temple (ACT), at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University (LKSOM)
A research team from the National University of Singapore (NUS) has unearthed new findings which may help explain the connection between cancer risk and poor diet, as well as common diseases like diabetes, which arise from poor diet.
Caring for someone with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease is challenging. In addition to the financial and physical demands, many caregivers are unprepared for the stress of trying to effectively communicate with a loved one who may be prone to agitation, verbal aggression, and hallucinations.
Wistar's Dr. Abdel-Mohsen has identified sugar abnormalities in the blood that may promote biological aging and inflammation in people living with HIV.
Most older adults have embraced non-traditional sites for getting medical care that didn't exist when they were younger, a new poll suggests. In the past two years, 60% of people age 50 to 80 have visited an urgent care clinic, or a clinic based in a retail store, workplace or vehicle.
In findings published in Cell Reports, senior author Jerold Chun, M.D., Ph.D., and team also discovered that the biological instructions within these vesicles differed significantly in postmortem brain samples donated from patients suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.
Regular aerobic exercise later in life prevents genomic instability characterized by DNA damage and telomere dysfunction
A new study conducted in mice traces how obesity and a high-fat diet may accelerate aging in the blood vessels that supply blood to the brain. The work is being presented this week at the American Physiology Summit, the flagship annual meeting of the American Physiological Society.
A study in mice found that intermittent fasting brought benefits beyond weight loss, suggesting it could help the body better process glucose and reduce age-related declines in intestinal function. Researchers will present their work this week at the American Physiology Summit.
A new study, led by the University of Portsmouth in England, has used pollen to grow hydroxyapatite capsules, so the mineral can better support bone regeneration.
As universities around the world strive to cultivate diverse and equitable communities, a recent study from the Brown School at Washington University in St. Louis highlights the necessity of recognizing age as a fundamental dimension of diversity.
National Eye Institute researchers studying human retinas discovered 87 target genes where a mix of environmental factors likely influence one’s risk of developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of vision loss in people ages 65 and older.
A new study published in JAMA Neurology found human brains are getting bigger. The increased size may lead to a brain reserve, potentially reducing the risk of dementia.
A new study examining cholesteryl esters suggests that periods of prolonged inactivity may affect people differently depending on their age.
According to new research at Case Western Reserve University, connecting with friends is key to limiting social isolation—something researchers believe could also reduce Alzheimer’s, dementia
