Alzheimer’s scientists find key to halting brain decline before symptoms
Scientists may have found a way to stop Alzheimer’s damage before it starts — by "melting" the tiny protein clumps that are the early triggers of the disease.Alzheimer’s has long been linked to harmful tau protein fibrils that build up in the brain and interfere with cognitive function, but researchers have now discovered soft, small clusters that appear first.When those early clusters were dissolved, it prevented the toxic fibrils from […]
