- Brief Summary
A Prospective Comparative Study Of Monoclonal Antibodies For The Treatment Of Alzheimer's Disease
- Detailed Description
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder associated with brain deposition of extracellular amyloid and intracellular tau. It causes progressive cognitive impairment, especially memory, and is invariably fatal. Currently, there is no effective treatment for AD. A new and promising method involves the use of anti-amyloid-beta monoclonal antibod...
