In general, sure, but in this specific instance (treating Alzheimer's by clearing amyloid-beta) it's been shown over and over again to not work in humans.

I’m kinda new to this - so what you’re saying is the mouse model induces beta-amyliods directly, rather than finding ways to give mice Alzheimer’s, whereas the human tests are for humans that have Alzheimer’s? Meaning we aren’t doing any tests of simply stimulating BA growth in humans?
