Molecule restores cognition, memory in Alzheimer’s disease model mice

In a study, published in the journal The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a molecule identified and synthesized by UCLA Health researchers was shown to restore cognitive functions in mice with symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease by effectively jump-starting the brain’s memory circuitry.

If proven to have similar effects in humans, the candidate compound would be novel among Alzheimer’s disease treatments in its ability to revitalize memory and cognition, the study authors said.

Mom, her only sibling, and her mother all had severe dementia before they died. My brothers and I watch the medical news for stuff like this in hopes that even if the dice roll the wrong way there will be an effective treatment for us.

  1. It would be nice. That’s not only a hard way to go. It’s extremely painful to watch happen to a loved one.
    I already told the wife. If I want to go for a walk in a blizzard in my pajamas. Just let me go.
    Please.

  2. Most of these studies are not reproducible, because modern medical “science” is little more than money laundering. The “groundbreaking” Alzheimers study that led to 25 years of wasted research and futile treatments was a complete fraud.

    So hope, but not too hard. Statistically, there is a one in five chance the data and conclusions weren’t made up out of nothing.
