Scientists from Northern Ireland, Sweden and the US have shown that some diabetes drugs can improve signs of the disease in mice and that intranasal insulin could be a new strategy to treat the disease, the Daily Express reported.
Dr Christian Holscher, a research scientist at the University of Ulster in Coleraine, said that the team has seen promising effects when they used the diabetes drugs to treat mice - bred to develop signs of Alzheimer's -who showed improved cognitive function and signs of new nerve cell growth.
