Alzheimer's disease--from cause to cure?
The tools of molecular biology have only been applied to the study of the brain since the early 1980s, but it is already apparent that this approach holds promise for identifying strategies and drugs that are able to modify the activity and function of particular neural pathways. One of the greatest prizes--both for society and commercially--will be the discovery of a safe and effective drug to treat Alzheimer's disease.
