The drug cuts build up of a key protein
Scientists have developed a once-a-day pill that they hope could potentially cure Alzheimer's disease.
Tests in mice have shown the drug, PBT2, prevents build up of the amyloid protein linked to the disease.
Protein levels dropped by 60% within 24 hours of a single dose, and memory performance improved within five days."
