Scientists have recently made a major discovery that could lead to a breakthrough in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. A recent study published in Nature Medicine reports that researchers were able to identify the primary genetic risk factor the development of the disease, and they even figured out a potential way to neutralize the risk factor.

A new study has uncovered a biological clock circuit that may explain why people with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia can become more agitated or aggressive in the early evening. 
People with Alzheimer’s can feel more agitated during the evening.
The researchers hope that their findings will lead to new treatments that help to calm the aggressiveness and agitation that individuals with Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases commonly experience as part of a condition known as “sundowning.”

Government and other scientists are proposing a new way to define Alzheimer’s disease — basing it on biological signs, such as brain changes, rather than memory loss and other symptoms of dementia that are used today.

One of the more vexing problems bedeviling Alzheimer’s research is why so many treatments that are successful in mouse models fail in clinical trials with humans. In a paper published yesterday in Nature Medicine, a team of researchers at the Gladstone Institutes identified how a key genetic variant associated with the development of Alzheimer’s operates differently in mice and humans. They also showed that the problematic gene can be repaired.
