Iron Banded Worms Drying Out Of Blood Could Be Linked To Parkinson's And Alzheimer's
ScienceDaily (Feb. 12, 2008) — Researchers at the University of Warwick and the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur have discovered that the mechanism that we rely on to transport iron safely through our blood stream can, in certain circumstances, collapse into a state which grows long worm-like "fibrils" banded by lines of iron rust. This process could provide the first insight into how iron gets deposited in the brain to cause some forms of Parkinson's & Alzheimer's and Huntington's diseases. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0209080452.htm |

Separating The Brain's 'Bad' From 'Good' Iron
ScienceDaily (Aug. 25, 2007) — Duke University chemists are developing ways to bind up iron in the brain to combat the neurological devastation of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases. The key is to weed out potentially destructive forms of iron that generate harmful free radicals while leaving benign forms of iron alone to carry out vital functions in the body. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0823083702.htm |
