    Damn it. It would be nice to read about an advance in Alzheimer’s treatment not based on on this rat model. There have been numerous “effective treatments” for this rodent model, none of which have panned out at all for humans. It’s almost as if rats engineered to develop amyloid plaques aren’t a realistic model for, well, anything.

    I wish articles would include this. I'm pretty sure when we finally develop an actual cure in humans no one will believe it.

  Interesting research, I seem to recall another study indicated that aluminum exposure may increase risk of getting Alzheimer's

    I think that was a going theory for a while but was later proven wrong.
