Alzheimer’s disease is the main cause of dementia and current therapeutic strategies cannot prevent, slow down or cure the pathology. The disease is characterized by memory loss, caused by the degeneration and death of neuronal cells in several regions of the brain, including the hippocampus. Researchers have identified a small molecule that can be used to rejuvenate the brain and counteract the memory loss.

Have you ever wondered how Netflix knows the perfect show to recommend next? Or how Facebook suggests just the person you were looking to follow? 

Researchers have found the power of those predicting algorithms can also “predict” the biological language of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s – which could help change completely what researchers know about treating and preventing such diseases.
