Description

🧠 Three new anti-amyloid drugs are some of the latest innovations providing us more in the arsenal of our fight against Alzheimer’s. But Alzheimer’s is just one form of dementia - have we unlocked the same tools for the others?

⚡ Promising trials are showing surprising brain health benefits of weight-loss drug Ozempic, AI drug detection is getting better and better every day, and stem-cell therapy may be the next game-changer…but are any of these bringing us closer to a cure?

đź’ˇ In this episode of The Dementia Perspective you will learn:

➡︎ The pros and cons of the 3 new anti-amyloid drugs - and why some are skeptical

➡︎ Why we’re further in treating Alzheimer’s than frontotemporal dementia

➡︎ Where AI can help in early detection and drug discovery

👥 With thanks to guest Lottee Bonner, Dr Sarah Morris and Dr Rahul Bhintade.
