Blockade of learning and memory genes may occur early in Alzheimer's disease: Treatable in mice
A repression of gene activity in the brain appears to be an early event affecting people with Alzheimer's disease, researchers have found. In mouse models of Alzheimer's disease, this epigenetic blockade and its effects on memory were treatable.

Manageability Lacking on Windows 8 ARM Devices
As businesses get ready to transition to Windows 8, Microsoft is touting the advances and features offered by the new platform. But the technology giant noted Wednesday that, for ARM-based machines, companies will not have the manageability features that they have come to expect.In advance of its Windows 8 event at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, Microsoft released a Windows 8 Consumer Preview Product Guide for Businesses in PDF, which outlines the advantages for companies -- and notes some qualifications for ARM-based machines.
Not Same Manageability Features highlighted by Microsoft include the ability to centrally manage the updating and distribution of enterprise-created apps, thus avoiding the Windows Store. Workers also will have access to live data on their start screen via tiles, such as a warehouse employee being able to view live stock inventory warnings. More detailed information, and the accompanying app, will be available via a single tap, when in the Metro tiles interface.
Microsoft is touting, of course, the touch-optimization of Windows 8, in combination with a mouse and keyboard. Together, the company said, these interactive modes represent "an efficient way to interact with a computer."
But the Product Guide also points out that manageability will not be among the features on Windows 8 devices that run on ARM processors, such as tablets. "Although the ARM-based version of Windows does not include the same manageability features that are in 32-bit and 64-bit versions," the Guide said, "businesses can use these power-saving devices in unmanaged environments."
Windows to Go The company did highlight a Windows to Go feature, where workers can access Windows 8 and business applications via a USB storage peripheral.
