Alzheimer' disease is a progressive disease which destroys memory and a variety of mental functions. As of right now, we do not have a suitable cure for the disease, but there is hope with the use of stem cells. In fact there are a three different ways we can approach this potential cure. The first possible way we can use stem cells is to implant stem cells the damaged neurons in the brain, causing the stem cells to form into the damaged neurons. Second, we can also use stem cells to produce different types of neurons to replace damaged cells. Finally, we can use stem cells to deliver proteins to the brain called neurotrophins to the brain, which support the survival and development of
