I wonder if this could be applied in the treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease?

AFAIK, Alzheimer’s isn’t an inflammatory condition.

I don't know but this looks like a discovery that might apply to many ailments.

IIRC, Alzheimer’s is caused by tangled proteins in the brain, not an autoimmune reaction. It does have potential applicability in other diseases, though. Diabetes, Lupus, Myasthenia Gravis, Rhuematoid Arthritis, Psoriasis, and maybe Schizophrenia are thought to be autoimmune disorders. Controlling the immune system has wide reaching implications.
