The Case for Virus Origin of Neurodegenerative Diseases Is Getting Stronger and More Important
<p>Inthe 1990s, <a href="https://www.ageing.ox.ac.uk/people/view/482" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Dr. Ruth Itzhaki</a>, now an emeritus professor of neuroscience at the University of Machester, often faced disheartening grant rejections. Without the grant money, scientists have no means to fund and conduct their research. No, scientists don’t have the power or freedom to do research on whatever they want. That’s the privilege of the funders.</p>
<p>Why did Itzhaki’s grant applications keep on getting rejected? It’s because of her unconventional insights. The scientific community thought the theory of viruses triggering or accelerating the development of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease (AD) was absurd.</p>
