Navigating the new frontier of Alzheimer's research

Scientists analyzing the genes of more than 50,000 Alzheimer's patients--the largest study to date--have turned up five new genes believed to aid in the development of the disease. The genes, all of which prove to slightly increase the risk of developing the degenerative brain disease, add evidence to the long-held suspicion that Alzheimer's is somehow linked to cholesterol and inflmmation. It's another big piece of the puzzle in terms of what is going on in the brain of someone afflicted by disease--amyloid beta protein begins to accumulate in the brain--but so much about it still remains elusive--researchers still don't know why it begins to happen. Increasingly, research is turning to genetic explanations and treatments. Guest host Frank Stoltze talks with two peopel at the frontlines.
