(PhysOrg.com) -- A study from the Buck Institute for Age Research offers a revolutionary new model for Alzheimer`s disease (AD), a devastating neurodegenerative disorder which afflicts 24 million people worldwide. In an effort to unravel the normal function of a protein implicated in AD, scientists in California and France have discovered a naturally occurring protein that provides a new therapeutic target for the disease. http://www.physorg.com/news154285265.html Medicine & Health Thu, 19 Feb 2009 17:01:53 EST news154285265 Scientists at the Buck Institute for Age Research have identified for the first time biomarkers of aging which are highly predictive of both chronological and physiological age. Biomarkers are biochemical features that can be used to measure the progress of disease or the effects of treatment. http://www.physorg.com/news146335154.html Medicine & Health Wed, 19 Nov 2008 16:39:14 EST news146335154 First the good news: a study by scientists at the Buck Institute for Age Research shows four common antioxidants extended lifespan in the nematode worm C. elegans. And the not such good news: those four were among 40 antioxidants tested, the majority of which did nothing or caused harm to the microscopic worms. http://www.physorg.com/news142010959.html Biology Tue, 30 Sep 2008 16:29:19 EST news142010959
