As pharmaceutical companies struggle to develop Alzheimer’s treatments, scientists are searching for existing drugs that could have an effect

With few treatments available to treat Alzheimer’s disease, scientists have turned to cancer drugs as a potential means of walking back cognitive decline.

Scientists at UCSF and Gladstone Institutes have identified cancer drugs that promise to reverse the changes that occur in the brain during Alzheimer’s, potentially slowing or even reversing its symptoms.

Researchers say that a pair of already FDA-approved medications could reverse brain changes in the most common form of dementia.
