Research is the key to opening doors for any scientific advances. It has
already resulted in great strides for those living with Alzheimer's disease and
their families. Alzheimer Society researchers, who include some of the top
scientists nationally and internationally, have shed light on critical aspects
of the disease.
The fact remains that there is currently no cure
for Alzheimer's disease. With appropriate funding, researchers
hope that within 5 to 7 years, treatments that attack the disease process
itself, not just the symptoms, will be available. Current studies are on the
brink of advances such as:
- Reducing or even eliminating genetic risk factors of
the disease
- Developing early diagnostic techniques to lessen
brain damage, reduce the disease's impact and improve quality of life
- Finding ways to prevent, or possibly reverse Alzheimer's
disease
