Re: Alzheimer's discovery- prion protein

[Guest guest]

This article (see link below) may seem like it¹s off topic, but I find it

fascinating. Dr. G has said that some of the meds that eventually will help

our kids may also be of benefit in Alzheimer¹s patients... so I keep my ear

to the ground when I hear anything about new discoveries in Alzheimer¹s.

Don¹t panic... the disease process in Mad Cow and Alzheimer¹s seems to be

entirely different.

and mad cow disease. It turns out both diseases involve something called a

prion protein.²
