AMiNDR: A Month in Neurodegenerative Disease Research55 - Refining & Repurposing Treatments: Alzheimer's Disease August 2020We may not have a disease-modifying agent for Alzheimer’s disease yet, but there are several approved medications that can help slow down the progression of the disease. Can we improve these medications and make them more potent? Are there different ways we can administer them to improve their efficacy? And while we are talking about approved medications, are there any hidden gems on the market that are being used to treat let’s say diabetes, or hypertension..that can also help in treating AD? This is what this episode is about! Stay tuned with AMiNDR to hear Sarah cove...
