Researchers find a hint at how to delay Alzheimer's symptoms. Now they have to prove it
An experimental treatment appears to postpone Alzheimer's symptoms in some people genetically destined to get the disease at a young age.

Alzheimer’s disease is non-partisan. Cancer is non-partisan. Diabetes is non-partisan. This is a short-sighted policy that could cost thousands of jobs and set biomedical research progress back by years. Contact your local representatives and urge them to stand against this dangerous policy.
What The NIH Cut To Indirect Cost Payments Could Cost Red States
The Trump administration’s decision to cap how much NIH will pay for indirect costs on university research grants would cost 10 red states more than $1 billion.
