For now, it remains a tantalizing glimpse into the future of regenerative medicine-a peptide on the precipice of transformation

Next, the many challenges associated with drug design are discussed and we urge additional research attention to neurotrophins given their demonstrated ability to address several of the pathologies that characterize AD
