Copper-based drug shows promise against Alzheimer's
Published 1 week, 4 days ago
Description
A groundbreaking copper-based drug developed through a five-year Monash University study shows promise in combating Alzheimer's disease by clearing the brain's waste removal system and purging damaging proteins. The research has yet to progress to human trials, but represents a significant breakthrough in addressing Alzheimer's and dementia, which are the leading causes of death for Australians, accounting for over 17,000 fatalities annually.
