Decoding
Darkness:
The Search for the Genetic Causes of Alzheimer's Disease
by Rudolph E. Tanzi, Ann B. Parson. Advances
in gene research have led to a new understanding of the causes of
Alzheimer's disease, and new possibilities for its cure. In this
well-written account of that research, Tanzi and journalist-co-author Ann
Parson examine the role of amyloid neuritic plaque, "mucked-up,
misfolded protein that fibrilizes and forms rock-hard aggregates that the
body can't get rid of." This book is ideal for the reader who
wishes a more in-depth understanding of the disease without requiring a
scientific background.
