Each of the genes comes in different forms, or variants, that confer different levels of risk - some variants actually protect against Alzheimer's while others increase the risk. Beyond the effect of specific genes, their interaction with other genes and with an individual's environment may determine how powerfully they contribute to the risk of Alzheimer's. The new research has only identified the relevant genes; the next task for researchers is to figure out which forms of the genes confer...

The effect of such shifts is not only urgency, but a kind of dark humor. Though it may be hard to decide where “Hurt Locker” fits into the canon of war cinema, it is the most gripping American attempt at the genre since “Saving...
