New Experimental Drug Reverses Crucial Alzheimer’s Symptoms
Scientists from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine have developed an experimental medication that reverses the major symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. The researchers, who used mice for their research, found that the medication revitalized a cellular cleaning mechanism that eliminates unwanted proteins by recycling and digesting them. The research was reported in the “Cell” journal. Ana Maria Cuervo, a professor and a study leader, explained that while discoveries in mice didn’t always play out the same way in human beings, the researchers were encouraged to learn that the cell-cleaning process that they had observed in mice also occurred in patients…
