Alzheimer news: Study shows Minimum Dose of Hydromethylthionine ...

... slows cognitive decline and brain atrophy:
https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/new-study-by-taurx-shows-a-minimum-dose-of-hydromethylthionine-could-slow-cognitive-decline-and-brain-atrophy-in-mild-to-moderate-alzheimers-disease-300965395.html

Here is the journal in which the study is published:

AND the first thing that hits my eye on the cover is "Is Caffeine a Cognitive Enhancer?" (Spoiler Alert: the answer is: sorta.)

Update: It has been pointed out that this article dates from 2019, and there has been no follow-up, so this is probably another futile effort to make tau protein the sole doom agent. Sorry. The link to the journal is still interesting, though. Although: thinking about that, there's a whole industry right there which would suffer should effective treatment be found. *sigh*

Oh for heck's sake

So, worrying a bone like a dog, I just can't leave the Journal of Alzheimer's alone.

I succumbed to the enticingly named: "Alzheimer’s Disease: Key Insights from Two Decades of Clinical Trial Failures"
https://content.iospress.com/articles/journal-of-alzheimers-disease/jad215699

and seriously, one of the major conclusions is: maybe if we just try harder.

Okay, the language is thus: "Our evaluation found that rational drug development principles were not always followed for AD therapeutics development, and the question remains whether some of the failed compounds may have shown efficacy if the principles were better adhered to."

It couldn't possibly be because this tree has no alzheimers, nope. Gonna bark at that tree forEVEEEEEEER.

more *sigh*
