Learn about what researchers had to say about Alzheimer's disease

I am a fan of science news, and I always try to be among the first people who read their articles about new studies done worldwide, especially in the USA. Today I was reading about Alzheimer's disease and gum problem. The research is done by Dr. Kamer, a NYU Assistant Prof, in collaboration with Dr. Morse who is also an Assistant Professor. This study shows the positive relationship between gum inflammation and the disease that impairs our cognition as we age. This disorder is called Alzheimer's.

Note: AUG 5th, 2010: Another study is done by other researchers with regards to Alzheimer's and depression:
"Our study suggests that depression is truly a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease," said lead author Robert S. Wilson, PhD, senior neuropsychologist, Rush Alzheimer's Disease Center, and a professor in the Department of Behavioral Sciences at Rush. "If depression was an early sign of the disease, we would expect to see it increase prior to diagnosis and as the disease progresses. Our study found very little change."
