Alzheimer's Diasease

Alzheimer´s disease (AD), which was first described about 100 years ago, is today the most common form of degenerative dementia. Although it is widely accepted that protofibrils/plaques comprised of amyloid-b peptide are causing AD, the underlying pathomechanism(s) are largely unknown. Whereas symptomatic treatments are in use, a disease-modifying therapy does not exist yet. *Interesting articles:* "Vaccinating against Alzheimer´s":[./article/vaccinating-against-alzheimers.html]
