Gene switch therapy could prevent AND treat Alzheimer's
Full story
Researchers at the University of Bristol have developed a gene switch therapy. They report the ability to convert the APOE4 gene into the APOE3 gene. This process changes a high-risk Alzheimer's gene into a lower-risk version to prevent and treat the disease.
