Pre-symptomatic Caspase-1 inhibitor delays cognitive decline in a mouse model of Alzheimer disease and aging

Previous work showed that the caspase 1 inhibitor VX-765 rescued cognitive deficits in the J20 mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease, and this may occur via reduced inflammation. Here the authors show that administration of the drug prior to onset of cognitive deficits and pathology in mice delays the...
