the drugs are letrozole (usually used to treat breast cancer) and irinotecan (usually used to treat colon and lung cancer).
We’ve really done the most horrific things to mice only to have discoveries and treatments paywalled.
All these scientists care about is mice. When will they realize people matter too? \s
Good thing you put that /s in there. I would never have realized this was a joke.
In this economy?
wwHd?
Are they giving mice Alzheimers???
the researchers tested them in mouse models of Alzheimer’s
The “mouse models” are lab mice genetically engineered to get Alzheimer’s, or in short: yes
It’s because of all the vaccines
I get your humor
Killing and reversing are different levels of difficult.
I always wonder whether they have a path of scientific testing and are trying to achieve a specific outcome or are they just creating pills with different mixes of molecular chains and trying to discover what the pills might do.
What a great time to be a mouse!
What, again?
"Already approved by regulators in the US "
🧐
Older, now-generic drugs. Los of companies produce and sell them for other purposes.
Imagine Tylenol is found to cure a disease.
Tylenol is already approved, with known conditions under which it is safe and not safe.
Therefore, it is easier and safer to test a new use for Tylenol than starting from scratch testing a previously unknown drug.
Due to an unforseen supply issue, Tylenol is now $1000 a bottle.
Mice get Alzheimer’s??? What other animals do?
