new insights on Alzheimer's, from Nature: "New PrPetrator in AD" by Lev Osherovich, Senior Writer
"Yale University researchers have uncovered a surprising link between Alzheimer's disease and the prion protein that has been linked to mad cow disease and the related human condition, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease."
Way too technical, but very interesting to know about the latest discoveries. My mom died of Alzheimer's--such a devastating disease. Hope we keep moving along in understanding its causes, and of course, treatments.
