A pill for dementia moves closer thanks to stem cell research

Using stem cells from patients with an inherited form similar to Alzheimer's, called frontotemporal dementia, the team in Belgium recreated the disease in a lab dish to help them find how to treat it. They discovered a gene mutation that stops normal cells forming, and were able to correct it with a compound that blocked a chemical responsible for the fault.
