The surprising reason why cancer patients may be less likely to get Alzheimer's
Cancer and Alzheimer’s disease are two of the most feared diagnoses in medicine, but they rarely strike the same person. For years, epidemiologists have noticed that people with cancer seem less likely to develop Alzheimer’s, and those with Alzheimer’s are less likely to get cancer, but nobody could explain why. A new study in mice suggests a surprising possibility: certain cancers may actually send a protective signal to the brain that helps cl…
Reversing Alzheimer's damage: Two cancer drugs demonstrate surprising power
In an exciting breakthrough, researchers have identified cancer drugs that might reverse the effects of Alzheimer's disease in the brain. By analyzing gene expression in brain cells, they discovered that some FDA-approved cancer medications could reverse damage caused by Alzheimer's.
Why Alzheimer's Disease Poses Less of a Threat to Those Who Have Overcome Cancer - a Medical Paradox
A new scientific study attempts to shed light on a paradoxical phenomenon: Cancer survivors appear to be protected from Alzheimer's disease and those with cognitive decline are at reduced risk of cancer - How is this explained?
It is one of the strangest and most persistent mysteries of modern medicine. On the one hand, cancer, anarchic cell proliferation. On the other, Alzheimer's disease, a degeneration of neurons. These are the two most feared diagnoses by the aging population, but epidemiologists have noticed a disturbing fact for decades [...]
A protein produced by cancer cells appears to be able to reach the brain, where it helps to undo the amass of abnormal proteins that are often associated with Alzheimer's disease, have discovered Chinese researchers.
According to research in recent years, Alzheimer's is not only a neurological problem, but also a dysfunction of the immune system plays a key role in it.
