Study on an innovative natural drug for Alzheimer's disease reported as a sham
Journal Title: Traditional Medicine Research - Year 2020, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
The number of patients with dementia is estimated to be as high as 24 million and is predicted to double every 20 years, i.e., by 2040, leading to a tremendous financial disease burden [1]. Therefore, we urgently need to identify drugs that can prevent, delay the onset, slow the progression, or improve the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Drug development for AD has proven to be extremely difficult [2].
