New model to further understand causes of Alzheimer's disease:Scientists from Cardiff University have brought together all known risk factors for Alzheimer's disease for the first time to produce a new model of the disease which it is hoped will help speed up the discovery of new treatments.
This new model looks at the combined effects of many genes, along with a breakdown in cellular processes linked to Alzheimer's and environmental factors, such as ageing and vascular issues.
"The huge progress in understanding the complex genetics underlying this condition will greatly help us in deciphering the early disease phases, when treatment intervention is most likely to be effective".
