Interesting. . .given the number of 'elderly' and less so. . .that have arthritus. . .AND alzheimers; think this corealaton would have been noted earlier.

That said; almost looks like this disease could be interpreted as. . .'arthritus of the brain'. . .(albeit, there is more to it. . . but what an intersting perspective and new possibilites for research.)

ENBREL, aka ETANERCEPT, only works for rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease. It doesn't work for osteoarthritis, aka degenerative joint disease, which is thought to come from wear and tear.

The embrel was injected directly into or around the brain...so it can get past the blood brain barrier. The regular subQ route doen’t allow it to reach the brain.:)
