The Press Association: New hope for Alzheimer's patients

The Press Association: New hope for Alzheimer's patients: "Rheumatoid arthritis sufferers have a built-in protection against Alzheimer's that could soon become a promising new treatment for the brain disease.

But it also marshals the immune system to remove harmful deposits in the brain that are linked to Alzheimer's."
