- What’s New? Researchers are experimenting with gene therapy, which involves editing genes to stop the brain from building up harmful amyloid plaques, a major cause of Alzheimer’s. They are using a technology called CRISPR to make these genetic changes.
- Why It’s Important: If this works, it could be a way to prevent Alzheimer’s before it even starts, or slow it down significantly in people already showing signs.
