Potential Cure for Alzheimers Found by New Study

(The New York Post) Scientists have made a major breakthrough in understanding and treating Alzheimers disease. Prior to last week little was known about why people got the memory disease and treatments seemed far off. But for the first time researchers at the Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute in San Diego figured out the underlying cause of the disease and a surprisingly simple way to treat it. By comparing brain samples of seven people who had Alzheimers and six who didnt researchers were able to show that the genetic blueprint of people with Alzheimers changes dramatically as theyre developing the disease according to a new study published in the journal Nature.
