Mark Underwood Is it absent-mindedness or is it Alzheimer’s? As we age, forgetting where we put the car keys or being unable to recall a person’s name can be cause for concern. And rightly so, for over 5 million people are living with Alzheimer’s. It’s even showing up in people in their 30’s and 40’s. However, the public’s growing awareness of this thief of memory is helping to accelerate research efforts, says neuroscience researcher Mark Underwood, president of the Madison Wisconsin-based biotech company, Quincy Bioscience. According to Underwood, research is revealing that ‘calcium overload’ within the neurons is a culprit in the cognitive impairment associated with Alzheimer’s. But the good news is help for this impairment in a natural, but unlikely source—the protein found in jellyfish! Join us Saturday for an informative discussion on the latest findings regarding Alzheimer’s and what may be the best approach for relieving calcium-overload and improving memory function.
