A promising scientific breakthrough for Alzheimer’s researchers - according to Science Daily:

A special protein can be injected into the body to reverse learning problems in mice that have an animal version of Alzheimer’s disease, Saint Louis University researchers have found.

This is really an important step, since it could actually help people who already have Alzheimer’s. Most of the research I’ve seen lately that seemed promising is geared toward preventing Alzheimer’s or blocking its progress, but this protein seems to be able to actually cause the mental deteriation to reverse.
