surewhynotlem, 11 months ago The problem is that these mice don’t have Alzheimer’s. They’re bred to develop the symptoms: “plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, which comprise abnormally aggregated β-amyloid peptide (Aβ) and hyperphosphorylated tau protein” www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/…/full But that may not be what causes Alzheimer’s. That might just be an effect, and treating the effect might not fix anything.
