Astonishing development. Scientists at the University of Leicester have discovered the first chemical ever to prevent the death of brain tissue in a neurodegenerative disease.
To quote a few lines from the article:
"The discovery of the first chemical to prevent the death of brain tissue in a neurodegenerative disease has been hailed as an exciting and historic moment in medical research."
He told the BBC a cure for Alzheimer's was not imminent but: "I'm very excited, it's the first proof in any living animal that you can delay neurodegeneration."
"Commenting on the research Prof Roger Morris, from King's College London, said: "This finding, I suspect, will be judged by history as a turning point in the search for medicines to control and prevent Alzheimer's Disease."
BBC News - Discovery 'could hold key to Alzheimer's treatment'
It's been an extraordinary week in science!

One of the best ways to prevent alzheimer is to know multiple languages.
Yay for gubbermint-funded science! The Medical Research Council is a part of Britain's universal healthcare system. No big pharma "research" needed.

Es es muy importante este desarrollo. C'est fundamental, je pense. Ich habe das beste Hoffen für diese Untersuchung.
Tammam, şimdi oraya gidiyorum.
Pretty doggy, btw.
I really wish they (journalists) wouldn't shout about "Alzheimer's". At this point this has nothing to do with Alzheimer's.
The results are quite exciting - a whole novel strategy for pharmacological intervention is showing signs of being realistic, with a number of possible applications. But whether or not it may be useful in treatment of Alzheimer's - nobody knows. Causes and mechanisms of the disease are poorly understood, and may have only superficial similarity with the prion model that is under investigation here.

Isn't Google Translate wonderful?
*inserts partisan talk about how one party made this discovery possible and the other party is trying to deter the research.*
But on a serious note this is a truly awful and sad disease to witness. Any movement towards a cure is a movement in the right direction. I have seen the effects of Alzheimer's and it breaks my heart. This is a positive step to wiping it out.
My stepmother had Alzheimer's, and was staying with my brother Greg. When one of my other brothers, Steve, went to visit her, he knocked on the door, and she answered. She then yelled "Greg, there is some man here to see you".
