The News Is Not Getting Better ... There have been reports of an unexpected side effect (vasogenic edema) in several trials, for drugs that work through completely different mechanisms.

Long-term good news is no help to those of us who are watching our loved ones die before our very eyes today. It is a grim subject to research… so much work has gone into it and yet we still cannot even reliably diagnose it. Not trying to be hopeless here: just remember to thank your local Alzheimer's researcher, the job has not been that rewarding to date.
