Quanta Mag | What Causes Alzheimer’s? Scientists Are Rethinking the Answer.
After decades in the shadow of the reigning model for Alzheimer’s disease, alternative explanations are finally getting the attention they deserve.

Scientists have long held onto the idea that sticky blobs of proteins sitting between brain cells are the cause of Alzheimer’s disease. Now, however, many are turning their attention to deeper dysfunctions happening within cells.

Dr. Kirsten Lyke calls the research “a total game changer.”

Lyke led the phase 1 trials for Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine and was a co-investigator for Moderna and Novavax COVID vaccines.
Didn't they say the same thing about gain of function?

The Scientist | Nobel Prize for mRNA Vaccines
Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman received this year’s Physiology or Medicine award for their work on RNA biology and mRNA-based vaccines.
Their research was achieved despite great skepticism from the scientific community.

Health Insurances should pay for this .. much cheaper than later paying for cancer treatment
