Of course this is good news but how this wave 1 protein is delivered to the malfunctioning parts of the brain still seems to be in development. If a oral medication or injected medication into the blood stream is developed, then this would be much less intrusive than a direct delivery system.

 

The primary problem however is the beta amyloid plaques which gum up the gray matter. Merck and a few others are trying to develop Alzheimer/ senility drugs to at least slow down amyloid plaque build-up in the aging process. I think this degrading problem should be also treated simultaneously with this wave 1 protein treatment to improve connections, if possible.

I read something in New Scientist recently about green tea extract and red light being used to destroy the plaques in Alzheimers.
