• Clioquinol Inhibits Action Of The CLK1 Aging Gene, May Alleviate Alzheimer's

  Recent animal studies have shown that clioquinol - an 80-year old drug once used to treat diarrhea and other gastrointestinal disorders - can reverse the progression of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Huntington's diseases. Scientists, however, had a variety of theories to attempt to explain how a single compound could have such similar effects on three unrelated neurodegenerative disorders.

• Scientists See Brain Aging Before Symptoms Appear

  UCLA scientists have used innovative brain-scan technology developed at UCLA, along with patient-specific information on Alzheimer's disease risk, to help diagnose brain aging, often before symptoms appear. Published in the January issue of Archives of General Psychiatry, their study may offer a more accurate method for tracking brain aging.

• UM Genetic Researchers Release New Findings On Alzheimer's Disease

  Researchers at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine led by Margaret A. Pericak-Vance, Ph.D., and Jonathan L. Haines, Ph.D. at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, have identified nine genes that may increase susceptibility for Alzheimer's disease and confirmed a region on chromosome 12q long believed to harbor an Alzheimer's risk gene. The findings were posted online today and will appear in the January issue of the American Journal of Human Genetics.
