Problems with this terrible title:<p>1. In vitro petri dish testing is a million light years away from showing a compound works in humans.<p>2. This is a particularly bad problem in brain diseases as getting your compound to cross the blood-brain barrier in correct therapeutic quantities is extremely difficult.<p>3. We have lots of direct antibodies that kill beta amyloid in vivo that are very advanced in human trials. The problem now is that they often cause micro-damage when removing various forms of amyloid protein or have been shown to be administered far too late when the damage is already done.<p>4. It's still not clear that beta amyloid is even the main causal agent of Alzheimers!<p>In general, if you see someone touting a low effort, pre-clinical study as major medical breakthrough, start hitting the downvote button. I'm disappointed this even got to the main page.
