Alzheimer’s appears to spread through the brain like poison in a river, according to a study that's the first to track the destruction caused by an abnormal protein implicated in the disease.

Scientists have successfully replicated purified Alzheimer’s disease neurons with stem cells for the first time in a landmark, multi-year study – an achievement that may lead to critical new understanding of the disease, the scientists said
Brain scans might help identify those at risk of Alzheimer’s years before the first signs of the disease appear, research has shown.
Researchers say they can see telltale brain shrinkage years before a person develops memory loss or other symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease.
A new drug candidate may be the first capable of halting the devastating mental decline of Alzheimer’s disease, based on the findings of a study published today in PLoS one.
Washington, Dec 15 (ANI): A new drug candidate that may be the first capable of halting the devastating mental decline of Alzheimer’s disease has been developed by scientists.

Salk scientists develop new drug that improves memory and prevents brain damage in mice.
By preventing Alzheimer’s from taking hold in the first place, researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington DC hope to eradicate the disease.

Patients with Alzheimer’s disease who are in the early stages of their illness will likely benefit most from vaccine therapies. This study is the first to show that mice with a large brain burden of amyloid protein — representative of many patients now receiving immunization — were much more likely to experience significant brain inflammation
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) has identified major failings in the first 12 of its 100 reports into the quality of elderly care in hospitals in England. The report identified three hospitals as failing to meet essential standards required by law
As of January 1, 2011, the first Baby Boomer turned 65, with a fellow Boomer joining him every 8 seconds. This “milestone birthday” for Baby Boomers yields 10,000 people a day turning 65. As a result, 4 million Americans a year over the next 19 years will be at increased risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease simply due to the single most important risk factor for the disease: age.
WASHINGTON, April 23 — The United States on Tuesday announced that guidelines for diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease, the most common form of dementia, have been updated for the first time in almost three decades. The new guidelines acknowledge that memory loss may not be the primary clue in the early stages of the disease, and include three phases …
The change reflects increased knowledge about the disorder. For now, though, treatment options, and limits among them, remain the same. For the first time in 27 years, health authorities have expanded the definition of Alzheimer’s disease.
Alzheimer’s disease guidelines have been revised for the first time in 27 years. U.S. officials say clinical diagnostic criteria for Alzheimer’s disease have been revised, but only for researcher purposes.
For the first time in nearly three decades, experts have created a set of guidelines to better diagnose Alzheimer’s disease in the clinic
WASHINGTON, April 19 (UPI) — For the first time in 27 years, clinical diagnostic criteria for Alzheimer’s disease have been revised, but only for researcher purposes, U.S. officials say.
