Understanding Alzheimer's disease is a difficult task for researchers, as the disease can only be identified with an autopsy. Researchers at Tel Aviv University have developed a technique that studies the disease in the brain cells of fruit flies.

A study from Haifa University in Israel found a connection between the disease and a protein called eIF2alpha. Researchers believe that by using drugs to alter the activity of the protein, it may be possible to prevent and even cure Alzheimer's.

One in 20 people over the age of 65 will suffer from Alzheimer's disease. Israeli scientists are now beginning a phase 2 trial of an experimental drug called Ladostigil, which has already had promising results on lab animals.

The next time you’re passing a church, a mosque or a synagogue, you might want to pop in for a few moments. A new American-Israeli study has found that praying regularly can reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease by 50 percent.

Findings following trials on mice and flies by researchers from Tel Aviv University, reveal that an isolated section of the cinnamon plant prevents the development of the disease and may even cure it.

Eating foods like salmon, rich in omega 3 oils, appears to reduce the negative effects of a gene associated with Alzheimer's.
