Alzheimer's Treatment

Advances in modern medicine have allowed adults to live longer, but this trend has been accompanied by increases in age-related diseases and healthcare costs. Of the many diseases associated with aging, Alzheimer’s disease is one of the most tragic. Alzheimer’s is a leading cause of dementia and death around the world. It causes brain cells to die, which impairs an individual’s ability to remember information and complete simple tasks. First diagnosed in the early 20th century, researchers are still trying to understand the mechanisms that underpin the progression of Alzheimer’s disease and its cause.
