Summary
FDA just approved Lecanemab, the first drug in years to target amyloid plaques in early Alzheimer’s — offering hope but with caution.

This breakthrough signals a new chapter in Alzheimer’s treatment — and a reminder that science must keep pushing forward. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
