Gerald H Lushington and Anthony C Barnes

The history of Alzheimer’s clinical trials has been notoriously disappointing [2], but are we truly doomed to continue repeating this futility? In fact, there are grounds for hope. In recent years, in a focal areas distinct from the clinical failures, we have seen fascinating progress on several potentially convergent fronts of that may afford promising new therapeutic opportunities.
