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.

Great news for millions.

Twenty years too late for my mom, but maybe I'll get to use it. Maybe, things are kinda shit right now, so who knows?

I am sorry to hear about your mom. There is time for you to do something about it as dementia runs in families. Prevention is the best medicine in dementia.

I think this is another drug that reduces amyloid plaques (that's what the other nad+ drugs purport) That model of Alzheimer's is under scrutiny currently after one of it's main guys was going to be fabricating results. I'm no neurochemist though so maybe this one does things a little differently.
