I am pleased to report that our neuroscience faculty have made a dramatic breakthrough in the battle against Alzheimer's disease.
Tomorrow's edition of the journal Science will report on how Professor Gary Landreth and his team discovered that a cancer drug can quickly reverse Alzheimer's symptoms in animal models. Within 72 hours of administration, the medication halved the number of plaque deposits closely associated with this degenerative brain disease. More, it saw the signs of cognitive and memory deficits disappear within the same short time period.
The potential of this research to assist the 5.4 million Americans living with Alzheimer's disease is immense. I commend Professor Landreth for this extraordinary research, and look forward to learning of additional progress as he takes it to clinical trials.
I also thank you for your ongoing engagement with the work of our School of Medicine. Your interest and support play a key role in advances like this one. For more details, please see the release below.
Sincerely,
Pamela B. Davis, MD, PhD
Dean, School of Medicine
Vice President for Medical Affairs, Case Western Reserve University

There was never any doubt toward Science in the first place. Only denial and ignorance.

I wonder how many more years till it will be able to be brought as a prescription. The new modern drugs are pretty expensive nowadays as well.
Often, they are so specialized that making the generics is very hard.
Hearing about scientific breakthrough is still good though.

This is no doubt a great thing, but we should have reserved optimism until a further breakthrough occurs.

Eukaryotes. Close enough.
I wonder if they're alkaloid derivatives. *checks paper*
