      If they can conquer or at least significantly reduce the onset of alzheimers this will indeed be a life changer. To forget who you are, forget your family and forget what you did 5 mins ago is a bigger travesty than getting cancer.

      This is fantastic. Perfect timing considering the US and rfk jr plan to cut funding to Alzheimer’s research.

      It would be nice to hear what the biomarkers are. Neither the article nor the linked abstract provides any clue

      Not going into the war here… But Israel is a country that values education, and has demonstrated that they will advance medical care significantly in the coming decades.

      My mom passed away with Alzheimer’s less than a year ago.

      I’d say we knew she was headed in this direction in the late ’90s. Who cares? There was more-or-less nothing we could do about it. (Please don’t tell me about the 3 FDA-approved drugs that do ~nothing to even perceptibly slow it down).

      I hope they figure out how to use the information, too. You have to be able to diagnose before you can treat but under current standard of care this offers people very little except a sense of impending doom.

      My dad has Parkinsons. It seems like every month there’s another article about early detection of neurodegenerative diseases, but very little in the way of a cure or treatment. I hope there’s going to be a light in the end of the tunnel, and not just telling people they can know they will be sick in 30 years without the ability to do much about it.

      why is every post related to Israel tagged with Palestine in it? I don’t see any posts here titled California/Mexico?

      Man, I’m not sure I’d even want to know. I’ve seen it happen.

      Are the war protesters going to boycott this too? Would be a shame because they’re already showing signs of mental decline needing early treatment.

      Headline is a bit misleading. Maybe the work can identify markers early, but only if you are dead and they can take your brain out for analysis.

      But do they really want anyone remembering what they’re doing right now?
