[Jonathan Despres]

A team from the Faculty of Medicine at Université Laval and the
research centre at CHUQ (Centre hospitalier universitaire de Québec)
has discovered a natural defence mechanism that the body deploys to
combat nerve cell degeneration observed in persons with Alzheimer's
disease (AD). Investigators Alain R. Simard, Denis Soulet, Genevieve
Gowing, Jean-Pierre Julien and Serge Rivest describe this major
discovery in the February 16th issue of the scientific journal Neuron.
