		<description><![CDATA[BY NYSSA SKILTON MEDICAL REPORTER 18/11/2008 CSIRO scientists have developed a way to screen for compounds that can inhibit the progression of Alzheimer&#8217;s disease. The system involves using live yeast and a protein called Abeta fused to a fluorescent green protein, which comes from jellyfish. The scientists, working within CSIRO&#8217;s Preventive Health Flagship, published their [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[CSIRO scientists have developed a new system to screen for compounds that can inhibit one of the processes that takes place during the progression of Alzheimerâ€™s disease. In a paper published in the Journal of Alzheimerâ€™s Disease, folate is shown to be beneficial in the screening system. Lead author, CSIROâ€™s Dr Ian Macreadie says folate [...]]]></description>
