AvatarAngelus08Small Lab-Made Proteins May Help Treat Alzheimer’sUnbranded - unbranded - NewsworthyA groundbreaking study has unveiled the potential of lab-made proteins in combating neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. These synthetic protein polymers show promise in mitigating conditions such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and ALS. By targeting the interaction between proteins Keap1/Nrf2, scientists have developed a potent therapeutic strategy. This therapeutic strategy can alleviate damage caused by oxidative stress. The study marks a notable breakthrough, as the proteins show stability, cellular penetration and resistance to degradation. This innovative approach opens new possibilities for treating Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, where traditional methods have faced challenges. "We established Nrf2 as a principal target for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases over the past two decades, but this novel approach for activating the pathway holds great promise to develop disease-modifying therapies," says Jeffrey Johnson, co-author, The University of Wisconsin-Madison.

AvatarAngelus08New Blood Test Detects Alzheimer's 15 Years Early With 97% AccuracyUnbranded - unbranded - NewsworthyA groundbreaking blood test can identify Alzheimer's up to 15 years before symptoms appear. This can potentially lead to a national screening program for individuals over 50 years old. The test demonstrated 97% accuracy in detecting traces of tau protein, which is associated with Alzheimer's disease. The test, offered by diagnostics company ALZpath, was developed during an eight-year trial involving 786 people. The results could simplify and speed up Alzheimer's diagnosis, allowing patients to receive results within days. "This could potentially have huge implications. Everybody over 50 could be routinely screened every few years, in much the same way as they are now screened for high cholesterol," said Professor David Curtis of the UCL Genetics Institute. It is also the first time that a blood test has been found to be at least as good as a painful lumbar puncture at detecting elevated levels of tau. This advancement, along with emerging treatments, may have significant implications for managing Alzheimer's disease.
