TL;DR Summary

A study in the UK has found evidence of Alzheimer's disease being transmitted through medical procedures involving growth hormones derived from human pituitary glands, similar to the transmission of Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (CJD).

The findings also raise concerns about the effectiveness of monoclonal antibody therapies for Alzheimer's disease.
