New Research Offers Hope For Dementia Sufferers

Researchers may have found a way to slow down or prevent memory problems that arise in old age and which can become devastating in patients with dementia.

Scientists found that injections of the protein made young animals’ memories worse and reduced the growth of new neurons in their brains. Further studies showed that blocking the protein prevented memory loss in older animals, making them smarter than untreated animals […]

This extracellular matrix is a combination of the fibrous proteins collagen and elastin, along with water-binding glycosaminoglycans. Together, these substances form a strong and resilient framework of connective tissue that gives […]
