ABSTRACT

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease for which no curative treatment has yet been established. We applied cytokine-induced neurogenesis treatment to a 69-year-old female AD patient carrying APOE ε4/ε4 alleles to regenerate residual neuronal stem cells, resulting in the successful regeneration of the atrophied cerebral cortex and hippocampus associated with improved cognitive function and the resolution of electrophysiological abnormalities. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report demonstrating that cytokine-induced neurogenesis can reverse cognitive decline due to AD.
