Snorting stem cells: new therapy delivery method envisioned
Posted on 2009-08-13 13:29:09 in Brain and Mental Performance | Drug Delivery Technology | Gene Therapy | Longevity and Age Management | Parkinsons Disease | Stem Cell Research | Stem Cell Research |
For brain disease patients of the future, the delivery of stem cell therapy may be as simple as a quick sniff. William Frey, an adjunct professor of pharmaceutics and University of Minnesota researcher in collaboration with principal investigator Lusine Danielyan of the University Hospital of Tuebingen, Germany and his colleagues have shown that when stem are suspended in a fluid and snorted, they travel rapidly to the brain and arrive intact.

Findings that IVIg therapy may help lower risk of Alzheimer's prompts clinical trial
Posted on 2009-08-05 13:23:51 in Aging | Alzheimer's Disease | Brain and Mental Performance | Immune System | Longevity and Age Management | Mental Health | Neurology |
Researchers believe that adding "good" antibodies to the blood stream -- called intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) therapy -- may help lower the risk of Alzheimer's disease and other similar brain disorders. A large-scale clinical trial is now underway to determine whether IVIg may be an effective treatment. Continue reading…

Highly developed language skills at a younger age can reduce risk of Alzheimer's, finds new study
Posted on 2009-07-14 10:48:04 in Alzheimer's Disease | Brain and Mental Performance | Longevity and Age Management |
A new study has found that the brains of nuns with Alzheimer's who remained intellectually alert to their final days had just as many of the hallmark brain tangles that lead to dementia as their intellectually inferior peers. The results have led Johns Hopkins University researchers to surmise that having highly developed language skills may be the key to reducing one's risk for developing the disease later on in life.
