Vital Progress on Stopping Alzheimer's Disease

According to medicalnewstoday, Swedish and UK scientists have found a vital molecule to Alzheimer's Disease. It attaches to brain proteins which are not working properly and stops them to create bad protein clusters in brain. This molecule can lead to progression of building medicines that can treat Alzheimer's Disease.

Alzheimer's Disease is formerly known as AD. Just like other non-treatable diseases, it is also a dilemma. People affected with the disease feel progress very slowly. Its symptoms appear with short term memory loss, forgetting past events. As it advances, patient becomes more prone to mental illness leading to death.

A member of researchers team Dr. Samuel Cohen said that finally we are expecting fruits of extensive work. Since long their team is working at Cambridge-UK to study microscopic view of Alzheimer's Disease. Protein building in brain is only one condition. This research is not a final cure but only a first step towards finding other possibilities. Brain is such a sensitive and complicated organism that scientists are still unable to pinpoint exact nerve processes.
