Abstract

Michael Jordan returned from retirement to lead the Chicago Bulls to three straight NBA championships, and researchers hope that a chemical can pull off a similarly splashy comeback and challenge Alzheimer's disease.

The work also supports the hypothesis that jumbled metal metabolism in the older brain promotes deterioration.
