Aging and longevity tied to specific brain region in mice
Researchers watched two groups of mice, both nearing the end of a two-day fast. One group was quietly huddled together, but the other group was active and alert. The difference? The second set of mice had been engineered so their brains produced more SIRT1, a protein known to play a role in aging and longevity.

Study shows that major Alzheimer’s risk gene causes alterations in shapes of brain protein deposits
July 15th, 2010 admin Study shows that major Alzheimer’s risk gene causes alterations in shapes of brain protein deposits
Researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine have used a newly discovered class of biomarkers to investigate the possibility that the shape of brain protein deposits is different in people with Alzheimer’s who have the highest-risk gene type than in those with the condition who have a neutral risk gene type. The study is being presented July 14 at the 2010 Alzheimer’s Association International …

July 14th, 2010 admin Does the existing standard of care supply energy sources to brain tumor cells?
The medical standard of care – comprised of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy – for the most common form of brain cancer triggers a number of biological responses that may actually feed the energy metabolism that supports the disease, according to Boston College researchers writing in the journal Lancet Oncology.
