Summary by Ground News

Study highlights the role of amyloid that originates outside of the brain in the development of Alzheimer's disease. Based on their findings, the researchers say that donors of blood, tissue, organ, and stem cells should be screened for Alzheimers disease to prevent its inadvertent transfer during blood product transfusions.

Familial Alzheimer’s disease transferred via bone marrow transplant in mice

Familial Alzheimer’s disease can be transferred via bone marrow transplant, researchers show March 28 in the journal Stem Cell Reports. When the team transplanted bone marrow stem cells from mice carrying a hereditary version of Alzheimer’s disease into normal lab mice, the recipients developed Alzheimer’s disease—and at an accelerated rate.

Bone marrow transplant transmits Alzheimer's to healthy mice

La enfermedad de Alzheimer familiar se puede transmitir mediante un trasplante de médula ósea, según muestra un estudio publicado en la revista ' Stem Cell Reports '. Cuando se llevó a cabo un trasplante de células madre de médula ósea de ratones portadores de una versión hereditaria de la enfermedad de Alzheimer a ratones de laboratorio normales, los receptores desarrollaron alzhéimer, y a un ritmo acelerado.El estudio destaca el papel del amil…

Scientists Find Evidence in Mice That Inherited Alzheimer's Could Be Transmittable

A new study this week points to a potential transmission risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers found evidence in mice that an inherited form of the neurological disorder can be passed on via bone marrow donation. While such a danger has yet to be confirmed in humans and likely to be infrequent if it can happen, the…Read more...
