Getting closer on Alzheimer's

[Mac1958]

First they have to discover the cause, then they can get to work on prevention and treatment.

"Tau proteins". I love science. Good luck, folks.

Scientists say they might have discovered the cause of Alzheimer’s

Researchers in California focused on studying a protein called tau and how it’s linked to brain buildup, a key indicator doctors look for when diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease.

Alzheimer's is a horrid, horrid disease. I hope they find a cure and soon.

I read this and was excited. I hope they find treatment and/or a cure. It is an horrific disease.

 

[JackOfNoTrades]

Exciting news. I am hoping in the next 20 years we make progress on curing a number of diseases. Parkinson's, MS, and of course cancer.
I had a close relative who suffered from dementia (I know, not the same thing), and it was horrible.

Well, there have been a few promising moments that evidently haven't panned out, no doubt about it.

This is such a goddamn ugly disease that I just want to remain hopeful...

 

[WinterBorn]

I hope they make progress. I'm old and have started forgetting things. I've caught myself doing the same thing multiple times, despite having just done it.

The ugly world in which these people live is a terrible reflection on all of us.

Every disease needs a lovable poster boy to represent it

Why not Old Joe?
