People with multiple sclerosis may have a genetic defence against Alzheimer's Disease (Image: GETTY) In a remarkable scientific stride, new research suggests that individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) may possess a genetic edge that helps shield them from Alzheimer's, igniting fresh hope for experts in their quest to discover a cure or preventive strategies. The study conducted by the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis indicates that those suffering from MS are "far less likely" to exhibit molecular signs of Alzheimer's Disease.

Matthew Brier, lead author of the study and assistant professor of neurology and radiology, stated that this finding, published in the Annals of Neurology, could revolutionise the approach to Alzheimer's treatment research. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
