Alzheimer’s has no known cure. But Alzheimer’s research is making tremendous headway. Thanks to the efforts of scientists around the globe, substantial progress has been made in detecting the disease and delaying its symptoms. Advances in neuroimaging techniques, biological markers, and genetic and molecular findings are yielding clues about the origins and mechanisms of the disease. And recently, these discoveries have paved the way for novel treatments that may one day slow Alzheimer’s disease or prevent it altogether.
