Potential Treatment for Alzheimer's Disease :Bexarotene
I have been in email communication with the lead investigator Gary Landreth,Ph.D. of Case Western Reserve University ( my father's alma mater ) in my home town of Cleveland, OH as I am very excited about his preliminary findings in using bexarotene ( Targretin ) in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease. This drug has been FDA approved for the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, has been in use in humans in this capacity for 10 years and has a favorable safety profile.
