You will probably want to edit the title to add the qualifier "in mice". Results from mouse models are notorious for not generalizing to humans. That said, this looks interesting; thanks for bringing it to my attention. I definitely hope this research gets all the funding it needs, it is certainly a bet worth taking even if the chance of payoff is low.
In particular, this treatment seems predicated on the amyloid hypothesis, rather than the tau hypothesis; the amyloid hypothesis has yet to yield a drug which does anything in humans, last I heard...
The team reports fully restoring the memory function of 75 percent of the mice they tested it on, with zero damage to the surrounding brain tissue.
"We’re extremely excited by this innovation of treating Alzheimer’s without using drug therapeutics."
The team says they’re planning on starting trials with higher animal models, such as sheep, and hope to get their human trials underway in 2017.
