    Very recent studies from 2019-2020 actually! Turns out prions are likely a key cause of Alzheimers. It’s specifically two proteins in our bodies turning into Prions!

    The responsible proteins are the “Aß Prion” and the “Tau Prion”

      That sounds like a huge development! I haven’t kept up with the research (obviously), last I remembered was that the plaque theories weren’t really panning out into successful treatments.
