Although our bodies efficiently get rid of amyloid plaque while we're young, the likelihood of a plaque buildup increases with age and some people are especially vulnerable. In the course of the Case Western Study, amyloid levels plummeted by 75% in mice with Alzheimer's. As a result, the mice became more social, performed better on tests, had a renewed sense of smell, and remembered how to build nests again. The researchers are now working on human clinical trials. Results could be available as early as next year.
Bexarotene was approved by the FDA in 1999 to treat cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. It is now available in 26 countries in Europe, North America, and South America. The drug has an acceptable safety record with possible mild side effects such as diarrhea, dizziness, nausea, dry skin, and insomnia.
