  • io9 - Commonly-Presc ribed Drug Significantly Reduces Memory Loss from Alzheimers - Cure for altzheimers: A growth hormone frequently prescribed for cancer patients has been found to significantly reduce memory loss from Alzheimers disease. The drug, which stimulates the production of red blood cells, essentially washes plaques out of the brain. Plaques are protein buildups (pictured) found in the brains of people suffering from age-related dementia, and are believed to be related to memory loss and other symptoms of Alzheimers. These can be signifcantly reduced if patients take drugs containing granulocyte-co lony stimulating factor (GCSF), a human hormone that stimulates stem cells in bone marrow to produce more red blood cells. Scientists at University of South Florida and James A. Haley Hospital discovered in tests on mice that the surge in new blood cells acts as a purging agent, washing through the brain and cleansing neurons "clogged& quot; by protein buildup. There was ultimately a 32-40 percent reduction in this dementia-causi ng protein, known as beta amyloid, in the mouse brains.
  • Inflammaging as a major characteristic of old peop...[Nutr Rev. 2007] - PubMed Result: Widespread aging at the population level is a recent phenomenon that emerged in affluent societies. Inflammation is necessary to cope with damaging agents and is crucial for survival, particularly to cope with acute inflammation during our reproductive years. But chronic exposure to a variety of antigens, especially to some viruses such as cytomegaloviru s, for a period much longer than that predicted by evolution, induces a chronic low-grade inflammatory status that contributes to age-associated morbidity and mortality. This condition carries the proposed name "inflamma ging". Centenarians are unique in that, despite high levels of pro-inflammato ry markers, they also exhibit anti-inflammat ory markers that may delay disease onset. The key to successful aging and longevity is to decrease chronic inflammation without compromising an acute response when exposed to pathogens.
