Researchers find new clue to Alzheimer's  

  

It seems to me that they have been discovering several new things lately on Alzheimer's. I take that as a move in the right direction hopefully soon one of these discoveries will lead to a medical breakthrough.

I think in the end when it is actually completely understood that it will be a forehead slapping experience. Most likely as you say something that is linked back to an exposure or illness that may have never fully developed or has remained dormant in some hidden hard to trace location of the brain.

My grandmother recently lost her 10 year battle with alzheimers. Many of the so-called triggers were things that she was never apparantly exposed to. However, her grandfather possibly died from it, of course at that time it wasn't known, but his reported behavior and illness sounds like it. I am glad that more and more breakthroughs are happening. I hope they can solve the mystery before any more generations of my family are stuck with the disease.

Any breakthrough like this can only be positive, I just hope that a definitive cause and answers will come sooner rather than later.
