Abstract
Alzheimer's disease is among the most prevalent types of dementia worldwide. Studying mice models, Australian researchers discovered one of the possible origins of Alzheimer's disease. The discovery has been termed a "breakthrough" by some. Scientists have gained a better grasp of why and how Alzheimer's disease arises by researching the blood-brain barrier. Their findings point to possible therapy and preventive strategies for the neurodegenerative disorder.
