Other projects focus on inflammation as a key part of Alzheimer's pathology. Epidemiological studies
have revealed that individuals taking anti-inflammatory drugs to treat such conditions as arthritis
appear to have a lower-than-expected occurrence of Alzheimer’s. Scientists have launched several
clinical trials to investigate specifically whether use of anti-inflammatory drugs may reduce Alzheimer's
risk. Meanwhile, basic research proceeds to investigate the molecular mechanisms that may underlie the
protective effects of anti-inflammatories.
