Potential New Development for Memory Diseases
Although years away from clinical use, in the May 7 issue of Nature, they report on a new gene that when activated functions as a negative regulator of learning and memory. By using other genes and/or drugs, this can be targeted and repressed leading to enhanced learning and memory.
With the population aging and more and more dementia (Alzheimer’s) being seen, hopefully, this research will allow us to someday develop and test one of these HDAC2-selective inhibitors for human diseases associated with memory impairment.
That is unless the Obamacare plan passes and then research and development on issues like this will likely be minimized. After all, the Obama supporters have little use for older folks with dementia.

It appears to me that there is a severe need for cures for memory diseases. The Libs have forgotten what history has taught the world about countries that have tried socialism - total failure. Some day the supporters of Obamacare (Oh, bomb our care) will grow old and will suffer dementia and Alzheimer's. Then, they will be begging for cures that will not be available because they prevented them from being developed.
