Just received this email from Case:
Breaking News from Case Western Reserve School of Medicine
*
We wanted to be sure the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine community is among the first to hear about a dramatic breakthrough in the battle against Alzheimers disease from our neuroscience faculty.
*
Tomorrows edition of the journal Science will report on how Professor Gary Landreth and his team discovered that a cancer drug can quickly reverse Alzheimers symptoms in animal models. Within 72 hours of administration, the medication halved the number of plaque deposits closely associated with this degenerative brain disease.* Additionally, the signs of cognitive and memory deficits disappeared within that same brief time period.
*
The potential of this research to assist the 5.4 million Americans living with Alzheimers disease is immense. These remarkable findings represent what each member of the Case Western Reserve School of Medicine community is a part of everydaymoving medical science forward, from discoveries to cures. Please join us in congratulating this team.*
