Alzheimer’s Disease is a ‘Double-Prion Disorder,’ Study Shows

This could be pretty significant in the world of AD prevention.

Quote:
“The fact that prion levels also appear linked to patient longevity should change how we think about the way forward for developing treatments for the disease. We need a sea change in Alzheimer’s disease research, and that is what this paper does. This paper might catalyze a major change in AD research.”
The fact that a condition like Alzheimer’s could actually be an infection that can be prevented, but also could be transmitted and caught, is a pretty revolutionary way of thinking about it.
