Alzheimer's linked to prion protein - new therapeutic strategies?
A surprising connection between Alzheimer's disease and the prion
protein linked to mad cow disease and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease
has been discovered. In addition to providing a new tack against
the disease, the discovery may allow antibodies developed for
diagnostics by Prionics AG to find a second life as AD therapeutics.
Find out more by reading the first in-depth analysis of the
scientific and commercial potential of the work in
SciBX: Science-Business eXchange.

behaviour as more than mechanistic, and genetic theory as little
more than literature.
