Researchers Find Genetic Cause For Alzheimer's, Possible Method To Reverse It - Slashdot

Researchers Find Genetic Cause For Alzheimer's, Possible Method To Reverse It - Slashdot: "Scientists at an independent biomedical research institution have reported a monumental breakthrough: 
The cause of the primary genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease, and a possible cure for the disease.
Researchers at Gladstone Institutes in San Francisco identified the primary genetic risk factor for the disease, a gene called apoE4...
Their findings were published this week in the journal Nature Medicine...
By treating human apoE4 neurons with a structure corrector, it eliminated the signs of Alzheimer's disease, restored normal function to the cells and improved cell survival.
The study's senior investigator says he's already working with a San Francisco pharmaceutical startup to develop the approach and move towards clinical trials, adding that "we are working to accelerate the timeline as much as possible.""
