25. Have scientists come up with a cure for Alzheimer's disease yet?

No. There are no approved drugs to stop or prevent Alzheimer's, although there are drugs that can treat the symptoms. However, researchers working with a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease are currently trying to develop a protective vaccine. As scientists learn more about human biology, they will discover how to identify and attack the root causes of many more health problems, Alzheimer's included.
