New Research Finds a Key to Fighting Alzheimer's
Researchers at UT Southwestern have found a brain protein that works to counteract the harmful effects of beta-amyloid, known as one of the culprits in causing Alzheimer’s Disease. Apparently the good brain protein, Reelin, will keep excess beta-amyloid from collecting in the brain. In an Alzheimer’s patient, excess beta-amyloid forms plaques within the brain the end up damaging the brain and killing off neurons. More research is needed but this is some hopeful news for all those patients suffering from Alzheimer’s Disease.
