Brain Cells Grown in the Lab Will Help to Identify New Alzheimer’s Drugs, Northwestern University Study

Guardian -- Scientists have made dishes of human brain cells that could speed up the search for drugs and lead to new treatments for Alzheimer’s disease, a devastating and incurable neurodegenerative disorder. The freshly made neurons are likely to prove valuable in finding drugs that slow the progression of the disease, and may ultimately pave the way for brain cell transplants to treat memory loss associated with the disorder.
