You jumped the shark on saying cure. May hold potential as all other early studies.

Falconquest has posted two links to the MIT study about Alzheimer's. His second article -- A new peptide may hold potential as an Alzheimer’s treatment -- is much more detailed than the one from MSN.

This articles implication was discussed by Dr.M in the recent presentation.

Also why our drug may work, since it also regulates this protein.


Cures? A new peptide may hold potential as an Alzheimer’s treatment

MIT neuroscientists have found a way to reverse neurodegeneration and other symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease by interfering with an enzyme that is typically overactive in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients.

When the researchers treated mice with a peptide that blocks the hyperactive version of an enzyme called CDK5, they found dramatic reductions in neurodegeneration and DNA damage in the brain. These mice also showed improvements in their ability to perform tasks such as learning to navigate a water maze.
