Alzheimer’s disease could be slowed by boosting a certain protein in the brain, researchers say
Boosting a certain brain protein could help slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease, a new study has found. The University of Cincinnati researchers and an Alzheimer's Association expert weigh in.
Study shows Alzheimer’s drugs may boost protein, not just lower amyloid
Leqembi and Kisunla don’t just reduce amyloid plaques that are implicated in Alzheimer’s disease. According to new research, the drugs boost levels of a healthy form of amyloid beta (Aβ42) protein in the brain,
Boosting brain protein levels may slow decline from Alzheimer's
A study published in the journal Brain shows that increases in protein levels with new Alzheimer's drugs can explain the slowing of cognitive impairment at least as well as the reduction in amyloid plaques.
Alzheimer's Decline May Be Slowed by Protein Boost
Have we been wrong about what causes Alzheimer's disease? New research suggests yes. For years, the leading theory for the cause of this neurodegeneration was the accumulation of abnormal proteins in and around our brain cells.
Alzheimer's Drugs May Work in Whole New Way, Study Finds
Two monoclonal antibody treatments to slow Alzheimer's disease, lecanemab (Leqembi) and donanemab (Kisunla), have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration over the past two years. It's thought the drugs curb Alzheimer's by reducing levels of toxic amyloid protein plaques in the brain.
Boosting brain protein levels may slow Alzheimer’s progression
A new study published in the journal Brain reveals that increasing levels of a key brain protein might help slow cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s patients. This finding challenges the long-held belief that reducing amyloid plaques is the best way to treat the disease.
Boosting Brain Proteins May Slow Alzheimer's Decline
A study published in the journal Brain shows that increases in protein levels with new Alzheimer's drugs can explain the slowing of cognitive
Study finds Alzheimer's drugs might boost healthy protein in brain
Researchers have discovered that Alzheimer's drugs Leqembi and Kisunla boost levels of a healthy form of protein in the brain, even as they reduce its more toxic form.
