They are tangled and build up plaque in the brain a process considered irreversible. Drug manufacturer eli lilly is reporting its experimental drug may potentially hinder that process. A followup study concluded that mild patients who started treatment early lost recognition and function at a slower rate. Secondary analysis suggested that the therapy the antibody, showed evidence of efficacy in the mild subjects subgroup. Reporter for some researchers, they didnt seem like much of an advance.

They are at the heart of the science that they hope will allow them to track diseases around the world in real time. Julian is developing a way to track the range of super bugs.
