Researchers successfully reverse Alzheimer's disease in mouse model
A team of researchers from the Cleveland Clinic Lerner Research Institute have found that gradually depleting an enzyme called BACE1 completely reverses the formation of amyloid plaques in the brains of mice with Alzheimer's disease, thereby improving the animals' cognitive function. The study, which will be published February 14 in the Journal of Experimental Medicine, raises hopes that drugs targeting this enzyme will be able to successfully treat Alzheimer's disease in humans.

I hope, if they manage to make a medicine out of this and make it a treatment to everybody, not just the rich and powerful one!
What other possible diseases would be treatable due to this discovery?
Brilliant findings! God bless the researchers at Cleveland Clinic!
