The first step of drug development often is to find a step, or protein, or something that’s unique to target but consistent within most cases. Researchers at Temple University are finding some preliminary success in animal trials that show some reversing of dementia-like symptoms.
Researchers reverse cognitive impairments in mice with dementia — ScienceDailyReversing memory deficits and impairments in spatial learning is a major goal in dementia research. A lack of knowledge about cellular pathways critical to the development of dementia has prevented significant clinical advance. Researchers are breaking through that barrier. They show, for the first time in an animal model, that a drug can reverse tau pathology — the second-most important lesion in the brain in patients with Alzheimer’s.

Hi everyone. Does anybody know if this blood test to see if someone has Alzheimer’s work? If so, does anyone know where to get the test? I live in San Jose CA. Thanks!
Blood test could detect Alzheimer's up to 16 years before symptoms begin – CNNThe new test looks at a protein found in the blood, that shows brain damage. An increase of this protein indicates brain damage, even before any other symptoms appear.-
Hey Liza! From other literature I read, it seems this blood screening test is still being tested to see how well it correlates with the many types of AD but at this time can not replace current screening methods.
Sorry I don’t have a better resource, the study of AD is in real need of answers!

Thank you so much for your reply. It explains why I haven’t found any place that does the test 🙂 Have a great day!

Alzheimer's vaccine aims to cut dementia in half, may see human trialsA study outlines advances in research that could lead to a successful vaccine for Alzheimer’s, a fatal brain disease. Trials in animals may pave the way for human trials, according to researchers.-
Thank you Rainee for posting this! This is very exciting news and something that every family with Alzheimer’s in their history should follow!
