Washington DC, Dec. 24 -- Alzheimer's has long been considered irreversible, but new research challenges that assumption. Scientists discovered that severe drops in the brain's energy supply help drive the disease, and restoring that balance can reverse damage, even in advanced cases.

In mouse models, treatment repaired brain pathology, restored cognitive function, and normalised Alzheimer's biomarkers. The results offer fresh hope that recovery may be possible.

A study reveals that restoring the brain's energy balance may not only slow Alzheimer's disease but also reverse it.

For more than 100 years, Alzheimer's disease (AD) has been widely viewed as a condition that cannot be undone. Because of this belief, most scientific efforts ha...
