Though there is a long way to go, the findings are encouraging. From the press release [1]:<p>“A drug developed for diabetes could be used to treat Alzheimer&#x27;s after scientists found it &quot;significantly reversed memory loss&quot; in mice through a triple method of action.<p>The research, published in Brain Research, could bring substantial improvements in the treatment of Alzheimer&#x27;s disease through the use of a drug originally created to treat type 2 diabetes.”<p>1. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.eurekalert.org&#x2F;pub_releases&#x2F;2017-12&#x2F;lu-dd122017.php" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.eurekalert.org&#x2F;pub_releases&#x2F;2017-12&#x2F;lu-dd122017....</a>
