A new model in nonhuman primates is opening the possibility of testing treatments before extensive brain cell death and dementia set in. Credit: Danielle Beckman/UC Davis Research in nonhuman primates is opening the possibility of testing treatments for the early stages of Alzheimer’s and similar diseases, before extensive brain cell death and dementia set in. A study published in Alzheimer’s & Dementia shows up to a six-month window in which disease progress could be Read More
