γ-AApeptides–based Small Molecule Ligands That Disaggregate Human Islet Amyloid Polypeptide

The abnormal folding and aggregation of functional proteins into amyloid is a typical feature of many age-related diseases, including Type II diabetes. Growing evidence has revealed that the prevention of aggregate formation in culprit proteins could retard the progression of amyloid diseases. Human Amylin, also known as human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP), is the major factor for categorizing Type II diabetes as an amyloid disease. Specific…

Drugs Like Ozempic Could Slash Your Dementia Risk By 45%, New Research Shows

Can drugs like Ozempic slow down the development of cognitive diseases, such as dementia and Alzheimer’s? According to research and ongoing clinical trials, the answer could be yes. As of now, Ozempic and Mounjaro are only approved to treat type 2 diabetes; however, many also use it off-label to help with weight loss. (Alternatively, Wegovy and Zepbound are approved for weight-loss treatment.) That aside, scientists now say that drugs like Ozemp…

Diabetes and obesity drugs such as Ozempic have been shown to have many positive health effects. Can they also reduce the risk of dementia? The science room is also looking at a study on toxic blood and how the American research community is suffering cuts.
