More than 35 million people around the world live with
Alzheimer’s disease or other types of dementia, according to last week' s report by the Institute of
Psychiatry at King’s College London, the most in-depth assessment of this brain-destroying illness and an ominous forecast for our ageing population.
The new count is about 10% high ...

Alzheimer's Plaques More Complex Than Thought
27 feb 2009-- The impact of amyloidplaques in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease may be more complex than believed, U.S. researchers report.
It was already known that amyloidplaques affect neurons. But the researchers at the MassGeneral Institute for Neurodegenerative Disease

Much of Alzheimer's research has focused on so-called amyloidplaques, a buildup of proteins inside the brain between cells that appears to contribute to dementia... understanding of tangles was (is) incomplete. I thought they were just dead neurons, caused by the plaque or maybe something else. This seems to imply that, if cut apart, the brain cells

"A lot of what is out there that's focusing on reducing the formation of amyloidplaques and tangles may just be off the mark," Kennedy said.
Amyloidplaques are globs of protein that form outside brain cells and stick together. Tangles are bits of protein that develop inside brain cells and create havoc
