New Hope For Alzheimer's

Posted by Inge' at 2:11 PM


I recently read an article on MSN.com that possibly gives new hope for those suffering from Alzheimer's.

Apparently, a drug that is used to treat certain skin cancers and has shown great hope in the field of Alzheimer's research. Unfortunately, scientists have been able to "cure" Alzheimer's in mice before with no results in human testing.

Since this drug is already FDA approved, maybe they will be able to start testing in humans in the not too distant future.

The article link to the article is below.

    Wow, I hope this will truly happen. I remember watching The Rise of the Planet of the Apes when James Franco's character found a cure for Alzheimer's. I just hope this is going to be materialized because surely, many people will benefit.
