Tuck & Marty:

Re the lack of "interest" in this as a "cure" for ALZ. This doesn't look like a cure to me - might not even stop the disease process BUT the neuro-regenerative aspect of it could be huge. Coupled with a vaccine like Elan's to remove the plaque, it could provide at least a partial recovery for those already afflicted. If they are correct that it avoids the overproliferation of peripheral sensory nerves common to other nerve growth factors, it has big potential for other neuro conditions (including stroke). I hope this comes to market! Thanks for all your good posts.
