A current problem we have is that animal models do not emulate the disease closely enough to lead to translational therapies that work in humans; this is why so many new medicines that work in mice fail in clinical trials. The review takes a look at the challenges and how science is working to develop better models.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Introduction<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leafscience.org\/a-review-of-stem-cell-therapies-for-alzheimers-disease\/\">https:\/\/www.leafscience.org\/a-review-of-stem-cell-therapies-...s-disease\/<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new open access paper takes a look at the potential of regenerative medicine for the treatment of Alzheimer\u2019s disease [1].
