...Alzheimer??€™s Association, an organization that conducts research on behalf of those afflicted with dementia, does not currently recommend specific supplements for cognitive health...
...mutated protein destroys a person’s capacity for muscle control. The work conducted by Robert H. Brown Jr., associate professor at HMS, and Jean-Pierre Julien, a research chair at Laval University, is part of a growing trend in the search for vaccines against genetic diseases, including Alzheimer??€™s and Parkinson’s Diseases. Instead of inserting an active version of the harmful protein to stimulate a person’s immune response, as common vaccines do, this novel vaccine will directly introduce antibodies into the body that attack the mutated protein responsible...
...Harvard professor of chemistry and chemical biology has co-authored an innovative computer program to answer the ongoing puzzle of how proteins fold inside cells, a breakthrough that could improve understanding of degenerative disorders like Alzheimer??€™s disease. Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology Eugene I. Shakhnovich and his collaborators, graduate students Eric J. Deeds and Isaac A. Hubner, outline their findings in the scientific journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The computer model simulates the lightning-quick process of microscopic protein folding for up to 10 microseconds, or 1,000 times longer than ever before...
...Harvard Medical School professor has received about $1 million to fund a promising effort that could move researchers closer to a cure for Alzheimer??€™s disease. Professor of Neurology Rudolph E. Tanzi has thus far been awarded about one-third of the $3 million that has been raised by the Cure Alzheimer??€™s Fund, a charity based in nearby Waltham. The fund’s leaders believe that targeted research, particularly in the area of genetic mapping, will be more effective in finding a cure than more traditional, broader types of research. Genetic mapping...
...grant from the National Cancer Institute. In a similar vein, the Martin administration drove the development of the Harvard Clinical Research Institute, which funnels investments from businesses to the medical community.Martin also launched the HCNR, which helped link 700 scientists in an effort to combat neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer??€™s and Parkinson’s. Martin also pushed to increase the school’s diversity, promoting many women and minorities and appointing Joan Reede the school’s dean for diversity and community partnership—making her, according to Harvard, the first African-American...
