    Or it could be the mouse models of Alzheimers that are based on overexpression of amyloid precursor protein don't really reflect the pathology found in humans. http://www.alzforum.org/news/r...

    So, it's a disease for which there is no prevention nor a cure

    But there are some candidates in Phase 3 clinical trials at the moment, which all will work best if they can have an early diagnosis. I think that's why news of diagnostics tests is good. If any of these candidates pass their phase3 trials, they'd probably be on the market in 2017 - 2018.

    * BACE1 inhibitor from Merck
    * LMTX from TauRx

    Disclaimer: I have family working on LMTX.

  5. But they already own everything anyway... by Sydney+Weidman · · Score: 2 · on Could Eminent Domain Break The RIAA Stranglehold?

    From the article:

    If royalties are set by negotiation or compulsory licensing, Napster (and its users) will have to pay in order for the site to survive ? but at least survival will be an option. Otherwise, the recording companies will be able to shut out Napster entirely in favor of their own, industry-controlled, online services.

    Uhh, I thought Napster was owned by the record industry. Didn't Bertelsmann AG buy it a while back? Or did I miss something?

    Sorry to sound like such a dope, but I can't remember much with all the aluminum in my drinking water.
