Insights Give Hope for New Attack on Alzheimer’s

Insights Give Hope for New Attack on Alzheimer’s - NYTimes.com: Most people with Alzheimer’s seem to make normal amounts of amyloid. They just can’t get rid of it. That discovery is part of a wave of unexpected findings that are enriching scientists’ views of the genesis of Alzheimer’s disease. In some cases, like the story of amyloid disposal, the work points to new ways to understand and attack the disease. If researchers could find a way to speed up disposal, perhaps they could slow down or halt the disease.
