Scientists said they've developed a new drug that slows down and may even halt the progression of Alzheimer's disease.
The preventative treatment, called TauR and created by an Aberdeenshire-based life sciences company, is being hailed as the first breakthrough in 20 years.
The new drug, waiting to be signed off by regulators, will tackle the 'underlying pathology' of Alzheimer's disease, one of the UK's biggest causes of death.
