A new study suggests that a high-fat diet could be implicated in severe brain damage. An international study has uncovered a link between a high-fat diet and declining in cognitive ability. In the research, mice were fed a high-fat diet for 30 weeks which resulted in diabetes and a subsequent deterioration in their cognitive abilities; including the development [...]

A new study suggests older people with thyroid problems may be at increased risk of developing dementia. The study, published in the online issue of Neurology, has shown an increased risk of developing dementia in older people affected by hypothyroidism. The risk was even higher for people who required thyroid hormone replacement medication. The research [...]

A new research led by the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston has found a connection between flu vaccination and a 40 per cent reduced risk of Alzheimer.
An optical fibre as thin as a strand of hair holds promise for use in minimally invasive deep-tissue studies of patients’ brains that show the effects Alzheimer’s disease and other brain disorders. The research could set the stage for minimally invasive in vivo brain imaging in lab studies and monitoring neuronal activity over time in [...]
Researchers have discovered that a signalling molecule called SCUBE3 potently stimulates hair growth and may offer a therapeutic treatment for androgenetic alopecia, a common form of hair loss. They determined the precise mechanism by which the dermal papilla cells – specialised signal-making fibroblasts at the bottom of each hair follicle – promote new growth. Although [...]
Canadian researchers have shown that a combination of genetics and brain MRIs may be used to predict the chances of developing Alzheimer’s disease. The Simon Fraser University’s Functional and Anatomical Imaging and Shape Analysis Lab (FAISAL) study was published in the IOS Press journal. During their research, the team identified distinct properties of brain MRIs [...]
Researchers have found that levels of a specific protein help accurately predict whether people with the wet form of age-related macular degeneration will need lifelong, frequent eye injections to preserve vision. They say the protein could also be targeted by new therapies to halt vision loss among patients with the disorder, caused by abnormal growth [...]
