Treatment to prevent Alzheimer's disease moves a step closer

Treatment to prevent Alzheimer's disease moves a step closer: Professor David Allsop and Dr Mark Taylor at Lancaster University have successfully created a new drug which can reduce the number of senile plaques by a third, as well as more than doubling the number of new nerve cells in a particular region of the brain associated with memory. It also markedly reduced the amount of brain inflammation and oxidative damage associated with the disease.
