Alzheimer’s disease is an irreversible, progressive brain disorder. It basically occurs when proteins in the brain malfunction and clump together forming plaques and tangles. These plaques and tangles block communication in between brain cells and even cause cell death, thus leading to memory loss, mood changes, hallucinations, etc.
Now, it is hard to cure Alzheimer’s because symptoms of the disease begin to show when it has almost irreversibly damaged the brain. Also, finding candidates for effective clinical trials is difficult because there is no method to identify people with the disease at initial stages. Thus, it is hard to test the medications and check whether they work or not.
In addition to this, Alzheimer’s affects different people in different ways. Hence, a drug which is somewhat effective on a patient suffering from Alzheimer’s, might not work on another patient. In short, due to a lack of fundamental understanding of the disease, we are unable to cure Alzheimer’s.
