Evidence for 'druggable' targets for each of these key mechanisms was presented by the Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation-funded investigators at the 12th International Conference on Alzheimer's Drug Discovery, Jersey City, NJ, 26-27 September 2011 http://www.worldeventsforum.com/addf/addrugdiscovery.
