The Science of Alzheimer’s

Research into what causes Alzheimer's is only projected to increase; by 2022, spending on Alzheimer's research is estimated to reach $3.079 billion. This fatal, incurable disease affects about 5.8 million people, according to the Mayo Clinic, and greatly affects their quality of life. Researchers and institutions are scrambling to uncover the science of Alzheimer's — to find causes for the disease, treatments and possibly even a cure as the number of people who have the disease continues to increase.
