Alzheimer’s Potential Treatment – News

In January of this year, the report of a research project was published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine. The researchers removed Alzheimer’s-related protein tangles in mouse brains. They were able to decrease levels of BACE1, a key brain enzyme, which reduced the levels of amyloid plaques.
