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...
