mvirts, to upliftingnews in Exercise-Induced Hormone Irisin May Reduce Alzheimer’s Disease Plaque and Tangle Pathology in the Brain, suggesting new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease

I thought the amyloid plaque thing was bs???

hamster,

Yeah, there are tons of experimental drugs that remove plaques but don't do shit about Alzheimers, and the drug companies (and NIH) have wasted literally a ton of money on this.

I don't think it's BS so much as it's a symptom of the disease rather than the cause. At the same time, if I get a 105 fever from the flu, you best believe something needs to be done to treat that symptom.

angrystego,

It’s more complicated. There was the AB 56 fraud, but that doesn’t mean all amyloid research is bs. There’s a branch of this research in the human trials phase that’s finally showing some promising results.
