Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Bryan Murphy]

  Considering Eli Lilly & Co. (NYSE:LLY) as well as a co-development project between Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) and Pfizer Inc. (NYSE:PFE) both failed in semi-recent effort to develop a similar-functioning Alzheimer's drug, it would be easy to assume that particular route towards an Alzheimer's might be the wrong path to take. Sometimes though, a small tweak or a seemingly-minor nuance with the underlying problem can make all the difference. Enter Prana Biotechnology Limited (NASDAQ:PRAN). Though the company acknowledges its focal point on the development of an Alzheimer's therapy is the same broad premise that ultimately led LLY, PFE, and JNJ to failure, PRAN may have found the proverbial missing link.
