In our latest attempts to make lab rats immortal, a new compound has been shown to reverse late stage Alzheimer’s disease in lab mice. This is a rare case where the title isn’t even clickbait.



Unfortunately, mice don’t get Alzheimer’s disease. This has been a claim for a while in animal models. I’m sure it’s good scientific work, but the press release is making wild claims.
