Alzheimer's disease (AD)

senile dementia of the Alzheimer type, primary

degenerative dementia of the Alzheimer's type,

simply Alzheimer's (as a stand-alone attributive

adjective noun), and folk-etymological names

such as "old-timers' disease", is the most

common form of dementia.

Experts suggest that as many as 5.1 million Americans may have Alzheimer’s disease.

Alzheimer's is predicted to affect 1 in 85 people globally by 2050.

cause

The cause for most Alzheimer's cases is still essentially unknown

In 1991, the amyloid hypothesis postulated that amyloid beta (Aβ) deposits are the fundamental cause of the disease.

A 2004 study found that deposition of amyloid plaques does not correlate well with neuron loss.

In 2009, this theory was updated, suggesting that a close relative of the beta-amyloid protein, and not necessarily the beta-amyloid itself, may be a major culprit in the disease. The theory holds that an amyloid-related mechanism that prunes neuronal connections in the brain in the fast-growth phase of early life may be triggered by aging-related processes in later life to cause the neuronal withering of Alzheimer's disease.

As of 2011, the safety and efficacy of more than 400 pharmaceutical

treatments had been or were being investigated in 858 clinical

trials worldwide, and approximately a quarter of these compounds are

in Phase III trials; the last step prior to review by regulatory agencies.

We should win the war!!!
