This is a really important thing to keep in mind with these studies, we don't actually know that we're curing Alzheimer's in these mice. We don't even know if mice really get Alzheimer's in the way we do. What we're curing is mice who've been genetically modified to overproduce a protein that's associated with Alzheimer's, and we think that's a good model because the overproduction seems to cause symptoms that look like what Alzheimer's would look like in mice, but it's still just a model.
