...cause of Alzheimer's and its cure remain unknown. This week, however, an important breakthrough will be announced in Washington that may change this bleak picture. At the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience, scientists from New York City's Albert Einstein College of Medicine will reveal that they have identified what could be the first fully accurate diagnostic indicator of Alzheimer's in living people. The find could lead to improved therapy and even, in the next several years, to an understanding of what causes the illness...
...focused his search on the crippled central brain tissue where those chemicals normally originate, hoping to find a large accumulation of an abnormal protein that was inflicting the damage. Using monoclonal antibodies, which bind to specific proteins and thus act like biological homing pigeons, the Einstein researchers eventually isolated and identified A-68. Subsequent autopsies, as well as two rare brain biopsies of living Alzheimer's patients, confirmed that A-68 is unique to the disease, and further tests showed it can be found in spinal fluid...
