...in mice.

Not knocking the research, cure it already! I just think it should be in the title to avoid false hope.

This is the fifth breakthrough I've seen reported here this year, we'll have an Alzheimer's cure before Christmas!

I despise the current research system for making anyone on the road to progress fight for research budget by publishing wild headlines to get attention.

For people outside of academic circles, this just gives false hope that a cure for their loved ones is right around the corner.

We're adults like you are and can manage both our emotions and the responsibility of understanding that headlines aren't the totality of information.
