Latest Early-onset Alzheimer's disease Stories
A University of California Irvine study has found that a gene called TOMM40 appears twice as often in people who develop Alzheimer's disease as it does in those who donâ€™t. Alzheimer's, for which there is no cure, is the leading cause of elderly dementia.
A recently discovered gene appears twice as often in people with Alzheimer's disease than in those without it, researchers in California said. Alzheimer's is the leading cause of elderly dementia and so far scientists have found no cure. The TOMM40 gene, discovered by researchers at the University of California, Irvine, significantly increases the susceptibility of Alzheimer's when other risk factors -- such as having a gene called ApoE-4 -- are present, said Dr.

A U.S.-led international team of scientists said it has found laboratory evidence that a cluster of peptides might be the toxic agent in Alzheimer's disease. We believe that we have put a face, a structure, on the molecular assembly that is responsible for Alzheimer's disease, said University of California-Santa Barbara Professor Michael Bowers, who led the study. The researchers focused on toxic Amyloid Beta 42 peptides, showing how they aggregate. The AB42 peptide is composed of 42 amino...
