Looks promising.

New protein injection reverses Alzheimer’s symptoms in mice in just one week

Researchers have discovered that an injection of a protein called IL-33 can reverse Alzheimer's-like symptoms and cognitive decline in mice, restoring their memory and cognitive function to the same levels as healthy mice in the space of one week. Mice bred to develop a progressive Alzheimer's-like disease as they aged (called APP/PS1 mice) were given daily injections of the protein, and it appeared to not only clear out the toxic amyloid plaques that are thought to trigger Alzheimer’s in humans, it also prevented more from forming.‌‌

There is hope for Correll and Redfish.

Beyond that, what super news!

Novasteve's been trying his own version of those for years. Chief Potluck is in danger of overdosing.

As one of those that is approaching that age, at 72, that is wonderful news. I fear that far more than death itself. Alzheimers is kind of living death.

Tonight I attended a presentation by Barry Peterson about his wife Jan's diagnosis and demise. It was very moving, albeit a bit canned. Very emotional story. The whole premise was about caregivers and their roles in society.

Wonder if this could also help people with early onset dementia?
