Clearly that's a long way from having a drug which will cure or protect from Alzheimer's Disease. But nonetheless, being able to rescue memory in this sense seems to me to be a step which is potentially in the right direction. Or else you have to find a way of protecting it so it can get into the brain. Then there are various other bits and pieces of peptide controls that we need to do, and so on. You're talking a few years downstream, but you're moving in that direction.
People are pretty excited about it.
The formal scientific paper is just in press. Within some months from now I suspect. What we haven't done is patent it. I suppose so, yes. No, they can't once it's published.
