The source of Alzheimers found, maybe?

This could be a huge discovery!

This would be such a nasty thing to wipe out of existence. I hope this leads to no one ever having to deal with this disease again.

There's also some data to suggest links to a specific viral infection which, when combined with other factors, may be a precursor.

Tafamidis was designed to delay impairment to nerve function caused by the toxic aggregation of a normally harmless protein called transthyretin and is currently approved for use in both Europe and Japan. However, the FDA has called for further clinical proof before approving the drug for use in the United States.

Hey, if it's bad or neutral, keep your confidence levels real tight, 5% or 1%.  For science.

If it's for good, loosen up your confidence levels for "clinical proof."

WHATEVER YOUR DEFINITION OF "INFRINGE " IS, YOU SHOULDN'T BE DOING IT.

So Alzheimer's isn't caused by cooking in aluminum pots and pans? Good, time to scramble some eggs. In an aluminum frying pan.
