    TOP STORY  

    Gene Therapy Prevents Memory Problems in Mice with Alzheimer's Disease 
    Humans with Alzheimer's disease and mice genetically engineered to simulate the disease have abnormally low levels of an enzyme called EphB2 in memory centers of the brain. Improving EphB2 levels in such mice by gene therapy completely fixed their memory problems. [Press release from EurekAlert! discussing online prepublication in Nature]
