A new study links impaired cholesterol transport to neurons with Alzheimer's disease, especially in individuals with the APOE4 genetic variant, suggesting cholesterol's role in brain health and potential avenues for prevention.
A new study links impaired cholesterol transport to neurons with Alzheimer's disease, especially in individuals with the APOE4 genetic variant, suggesting potential new avenues for understanding and preventing the disease.
US researchers discovered that cancer cells use sugar-coated molecules called GAGs to steal fat-rich lipoproteins carrying vitamin E from the bloodstream, which helps them avoid ferroptosis, a form of cell death. Blocking this pathway could open new avenues for cancer treatment, although clinical applications are still in the future.
D-FW researchers discovered that cancer cells use lipoproteins and sulfated glycosaminoglycans to shield themselves from ferroptosis by importing vitamin E, an antioxidant, which helps them survive. Disrupting this pathway could lead to new cancer treatments, although clinical applications are still in the future.
New research from the Framingham Heart Study shows complex links between blood lipid levels and Alzheimer's risk, with small dense LDL cholesterol increasing risk, while higher ApoB48 and lower HDL cholesterol levels are associated with reduced risk, suggesting blood lipid profiles could help predict and prevent Alzheimer's disease.
