Are Amyloids Really Causing Alzheimer’s?
Posted on December 4th, 2009 No commentsAmyloids have long been associated by many scientists as one of the causes of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.
Scientists now believe amyloid fibres are even more dangerous. In a new study published by the Journal of Biological Chemistry, it is being stated the shorted the amyloid fibres, the more dangerous.
That’s because the shorter fibres are very toxic to cells.
Amyloid deposits can occur all over the body, not just in the brain.

GPS Devices for the Supermaket?
Posted on June 6th, 2009 No comments
Inventors are working on a GPS device which will guide the elderly through supermarkets.As people of all ages know, grocery shopping can be confusing for everyone, not just seniors.
But a GPS device that would guide seniors and give them more confidence as they grocery shop is an invention many of us will be anticipating.
Also underway are sensors for drawers and cabinets which will help seniors, and especially elderly Alzheimer's patients, remember where they left things. The senors will feed the information into a computer.
Frankly, I could use that right now.
