From genes to molecular mechanisms
UNRAVELING THE MYSTERIES OF ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE Back in 1901, German psychiatrist Alois Alzheimer described his first case of what later became known as Alzheimer's disease. Over a century later, we've learned a lot about the molecular processes that lead to neurodegeneration and subsequent memory loss, but many things are still to be discovered. As a result, an effective therapy hasn't been found yet. But the future is looking brighter. Two VIB group leaders who have been focusing on the hereditary form of the disease tell the long story of Alzheimer's research.
