New smell test may help identify people at risk of getting Alzheimer's disease
New smell test may help identify people at risk of getting Alzheimer's disease
New York: Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) in the US have developed a method to identify those at risk for Alzheimer's disease on the basis of their ability to recognise and recall odours.The non-invasive protocol testing the ability to recognise, remember and distinguish between odours was able to identify older individuals who — according to genetic, imaging and more detailed memory tests — were at increased risk of Alzheimer's disease, the study said."There is increasing evidence that the neurodegeneration behind Alzheimer's disease starts at least 10 years before the onset of memory symptoms," said principal investigator Mark Albers of the MGH Department of Neurology."The development of a digitally-enabled, affordable, accessible and non-invasive means to identify healthy individuals who are at risk is a critical step to developing therapies that slow down or halt Alzheimer's disease progression," Albers noted.

Discovery of neurotransmission gene may permit early detection of Alzheimer's disease
Discovery of neurotransmission gene may permit early detection of Alzheimer's disease
A new Tel Aviv University study identified a gene coding for a protein that turns off neurotransmission signaling, which contributes to Alzheimer's disease (AD).The gene, called RGS2 (Regulator of Protein Signaling 2), has never before been implicated in AD.The researchers report that lower RGS2 expression in AD patient cells increases their sensitivity to toxic effects of amyloid-β.The study, published in Translational Psychiatry, may lead to new avenues for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease -- possibly a blood test -- and new therapies to halt the progression of the disease.
