Alzheimer's

Scientists have studied Alzheimer’s disease for over a century, since Alois Alzheimer’s initial description of brain abnormalities in a patient with presenile dementia. Today, amyloid‑beta plaques and tau tangles are recognized as hallmarks of the disease, though its causes are complex and multifactorial.

Alzheimer’s disease, a condition that slowly erodes memory and cognitive function, has long been one of the most formidable challenges in medicine. With a rapidly growing patient population in the U.S., the impact of Alzheimer’s disease is profound and far reaching.
