1. Infusion therapies to recruit the immune system : solanezumab, aducanumab.
2. To prevent destruction of brain connections : saracatinib which turns off Fyn, a brain protein which when over-activated triggers destruction of connections between brain cells ( ie. synapses).
3. Beta-amyloid production blockers such as beta- and gamma- secretase inhibitors.
4. Tau aggregation inhibitors and tau vaccines to prevent tau from forming the tangles seen in Alzheimer's.
5. Reduce chronic, low-level inflammation eg. pioglitazone (Actos).
6. Insulin nasal spray to alter insulin changes in Alzheimer brains.
7. Modulating known risk factors eg. hypertension, diabetes, stroke, high cholesterol and heart disease.
