Advancements in Alzheimer's Research
Clip: 10/13/2013 | 6m 44sVideo has Closed Captions
Dr. William Klein joins us to discuss Advancements in Alzheimer’s Research.
Researchers in the fight against Alzheimer’s may have found a way to detect the disease early on. They discovered small toxins related to Alzheimer’s, which builds up in the brain, attacking the brain’s memory centers. Collaborators are trying to discover a way to protect the brain from these toxins, or even better, prevent them from building up in the first place. Dr. William Klein joins us.
