How DDL-920 Could Help Restore Cognitive Function in Alzheimer’s Patients


Listen Later

Host: Ashley Baker, MSN, PMHNP
Guest: Istvan Mody, PhD

The objective of this study around Alzheimer’s disease was to enhance oscillations in laying down memory traces and cognition. Using mice, the human APOE 4 gene was inserted into them, so they replicated similar events that take place in Alzheimer’s patients, and other mice were treated with DDL-920. The hope is to move on to human patients and to have a big impact on improving Alzheimer’s patient's life, cognition, and memory. To learn more, join Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner Ashley Baker as she speaks with Dr. Istvan Mody, Professor of Neurology and Physiology at UCLA Health and recipient of the J. Allyn Taylor International Prize in Medicine in 2018.
