Tanz Centre research challenges long-held view of early-stage Alzheimer's disease: https://t.co/l5guag7USI

[Department of Laboratory Medicine & Pathobiology @UofT_LMP]

“For the first time, this research indicates the extent to which somatostatin could be important in Alzheimer’s disease,” says Gerold Schmitt-Ulms, LMP faculty member. His research at @tanzuoft is challenging long-held views of the disease.
