Could reversing Alzheimer's in just one week be possible soon? New research indicates that might be a real possibility. In a new study on mice, a protein called IL-33 was found to reverse the cognitive decline and memory issues associated with Alzheimer's in just one week while appearing to prevent future symptoms as well.
Alzheimer's disease is a type of dementia, or cognitive decline, that can interfere with daily life. About 60 to 80 percent of dementia patients have Alzheimer's disease, a progressive condition that interferes with daily life and eventually causes death. Symptoms of Alzheimer's disease include memory loss, moodiness, feeling disoriented, difficulty walking and speaking. Most of the five million Alzheimer's patients in the US are over the age of 65 and about one out of three seniors die from some form of dementia or Alzheimer's, according to the Alzheimer's Association.
Scientists from the University of Glasgow discovered that when mice bred to develop cognitive decline as they age were given IL-33, not only did cognitive tasks and memory improve, but physical symptoms of Alzheimer's were also less apparent.
可以逆转阿尔茨海默氏症在短短一个星期才有可能快？新的研究表明，可能是一种现实的可能性。
在对小鼠一项新的研究，一种叫做IL-33的蛋白质被发现逆转，而出现以防止未来的症状，以及与阿尔茨海默氏在短短一个星期有关的认知衰退和记忆的问题。
阿尔茨海默氏病是一种类型的痴呆或认知衰退的，可与日常生活造成干扰。痴呆患者的约60％到80％有阿尔茨海默氏病，与日常生活干扰，并最终导致死亡的渐进条件。阿尔茨海默氏症的症状包括记忆力减退，情绪低落，感觉迷失方向，行走困难和口语。大多数的500万老年痴呆症患者，在美国是65岁以上约三分之一的老年人的某种形式的老年痴呆症或阿尔茨海默氏症的死亡，根据阿尔茨海默氏症协会。
从格拉斯哥大学的科学家发现，当老鼠繁殖发展认知能力的下降，因为他们的年龄分别给予IL-33，不仅没有认知任务和内存改进，但老年痴呆症的躯体症状也不太明显。
