A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hopefully.: UCLA developed "molecular tweezers", CLROI, a therapeutic drug targeting amyloid build-up in the brain, another procedure that uses stem cells injected IV or subcutaneously in the skin of Alzheimer sufferers appear promising and some 2,000 people have received it with no side-effect. They also found that the antidepressant Celexa (citalopram) appear to decrease levels of Amyloid.
