For the first time, researchers have been able to replicate Alzheimer's outside of the brain – they're calling it "Alzheimer's in a Dish." This advancement will allow scientists and doctors to evaluate their experimental treatments and techniques that – until now – would have required human subjects for testing.

This could speed up the research process and help us find a way to stop Alzheimer's faster. We're thrilled to have the head of that groundbreaking team, Dr. Rudolph E. Tanzi of Boston's Massachusetts General Hospital, on this Alzheimer's Talks.
