Scientists May Have Just Discovered The Key To Halting Alzheimer's in HuffPost Science, Carolyn Gregoire, 01/11/2016

Excerpts:
"Curbing brain inflammation may help people treat and prevent Alzheimer's disease, according to a landmark new study."

"[b]An overactive immune system can result in chronic inflammation, which previous research has linked to Alzheimer's. These new findings makes it increasingly apparent that inflammation is not a result of Alzheimer's as much as a key driver of the disease[/u]. "

"With an aging population and no new dementia drugs in over a decade, the need to find treatments that can slow or stop disease progression is greater than ever."

""These findings are as close to evidence as we can get to show that this particular pathway is active in the development of Alzheimer's disease," Gomez-Nicola said in a statement. "The next step is to work closely with our partners in industry to find a safe and suitable drug that can be tested to see if it works in humans.""
