Alzheimer's Disease Reversed in Animal Studies

Scientists in the US have made a big discovery about Alzheimer's disease, a condition that affects the brain and is usually thought to be permanent.

They found that by keeping a special molecule called NAD+ balanced, they could not only stop Alzheimer's from getting worse but also reverse it in mice.

NAD+ is like a tiny energy booster in our cells.

The researchers used a special medicine called P7C3-A20 to keep NAD+ levels healthy.

They tested this on mice that had been changed in the lab to have the same genetic problems that cause Alzheimer's in people.

Amazingly, the mice got better and could think clearly again.

This gives hope that one day, similar treatments might help people with Alzheimer's too.
