Mayo Clinic radiologist Kejal Kantarci, M.D., was the lead author of a study that was the first to show reduced brain amyloid deposition in newly postmenopausal women receiving 17beta-estradiol through a skin patch.
Notes on verification
Confirmed by the original peer-reviewed publication (Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, 2016) with Kantarci as lead author, corroborated by multiple independent news sources reporting the same finding.
