Scientists reverse Alzheimer's in mice and restore memory (futurism.com)

Researchers successfully reversed advanced Alzheimer's disease in mice by restoring brain energy balance, challenging long-held beliefs that the condition is irreversible and demonstrating potential for significant cognitive recovery.

By normalizing levels of the energy molecule NAD+ using a specific compound, the study repaired brain pathology and restored cognitive function in mice. This approach targets energy failure, which researchers found is significantly more severe in humans with Alzheimer’s.
