Re: Has anyone else gotten the new Abeta 42/40 test?

They said my Preclivity test (which tests for beta-amyloid in the blood and tau) showed little to no amyloid in my blood. This is in direct c...

Hi Tabby, As described in Alzforum, homotaurine has undergone some changes that explain why it's not currently in clinical trials: This is a prodrug of homotaurine, a modified ami...
