CU laser microscopy technique settles brain chemistry debate, could aid studies of Alzheimer's, stroke damage

A laser-based microscopy technique may have settled a long-standing debate among neuroscientists about how brain cells process energy -- while explaining what's really happening in PET (positron emission tomography) imaging and offering a better way to observe the damage that strokes and neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's, wreak on brain cells.

DNA gene vaccine protects against harmful protein of Alzheimer's disease

By pressure-injecting the gene responsible for producing the specific protein — called amyloid-beta 42 — the researchers caused the mice to make antibodies and greatly reduce the protein's build-up in the brain. Accumulation of amyloid-beta 42 in humans is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease.

'Memory robber' Alzheimer's sign

The team from the University of Minnesota VA Medical Center and Johns Hopkins University genetically manipulated mice so they developed memory problems in the same way as people do before the earliest signs of Alzheimer's actually appear.
