A new study suggests Alzheimer's disease is beginning to be regarded as a treatable condition rather than an untreatable, inevitable decline. The finding points to growing confidence in therapies that can modify the disease's course, a shift with major implications for patients, families and health systems. Observers are weighing what this means for early diagnosis and access to new treatments.

New research suggests radiation exposure could trigger a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease in the brain, adding to concerns about the neurological effects of radiation from medical treatments, occupational settings or space travel. The finding points to possible mechanisms linking radiation to dementia-like changes, though scientists caution more work is needed to confirm the risk in humans.
