Experimental Drug Compound Found To Reverse Effects of Alzheimer's In Mice
Zothecula (1870348) writes "While there has been progress made in the fight against Alzheimer's, our understanding of the dispiriting disease remains somewhat limited, with a definitive cure yet to be found. The latest development comes at the hands of researchers from Yale's School of Medicine, who have discovered a new drug compound shown to reverse the effects of Alzheimer's in mice."
Do mice get Alzheimer's disease in the wild? This is blatantly fraudulent 'research'.
Cars don't appear in the wild either, yet research has enabled them anyways. That is to say, I do not think you even understand what the word "fraudulent" means.
It's only old people who get Alzheimer's. No loss there...
And it's young people who pay for most of their care.
I browse on +1 so AC's need not respond, I won't see it.
No, mice don't get alzheimer's disease in the wild. They don't live long enough to. A domesticated mouse can sometimes develop dementia entirely on its own as it ages, however. Any mouse, or any creature for that matter, which happened to live long enough in the wild to develop such conditions would not survive for long without human intervention.
