The research, published in Brain Research, could bring substantial improvements in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease through the use of a drug originally created to treat type 2 diabetes.” 1. https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2017-12/lu-dd122017.php https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2017-12/lu-dd122017....
