In our latest attempts to make lab rats immortal, a new compound has been shown to reverse late stage Alzheimer's disease in lab mice. This is a rare case where the title isn't even clickbait.

Aahh, those lucky mice. Yet another cure for Alzheimer, without counting the multiple cancer miracle-like cures.

Any news for human yet?

problem has getting human subjects, thats why animal testing is done cant really test unsanctioned compounds a live patient. for example even studying something like varicella virus is difficult because it only infects humans, you have to bio-engineer mice so much to accept a varicella virus, also they are looked at Simian versions.
