Researchers at the Imperial College here have found that delivering a specific gene via an injection directly into the brain may offer a potential new therapy for halting the progress of Alzheimer's disease, especially when treated in its early stages.

Fears are growing that Alzheimer's may be passed from person to person after researchers reported a second case suggesting the disease could be transmitted by 'medical accidents'.
