Q: How can we prevent or treat Alzheimer’s Disease?

Prevent progression of AD by creating devices that generate plaque degraders (fibril deposits) Amyloid beta-peptides Neurofibrilly tangles Protein that degrades tangles and deposits Device

One way to treat AD is to regenerate neurons

look for the genes that specifically aim to regenerate motor neurons. Salamanders can regenerate limbs, including all motor neurons, muscle and blood vessels. look for the genes that specifically aim to regenerate motor neurons. Create a device that contains a part that includes salamander regeneration gene(s) to promote neuron regeneration in the brain http://www.cellscience.com/reviews2/Organ_Regeneration_Immune_Involvement.html
