"New Alzheimer's Treatment Targets Plexin-B1 to Halt Disease Progression"
TL;DR Summary
Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have discovered that manipulating the protein complex plexin-B1 can enhance the brain's ability to clear abnormal protein clumps associated with Alzheimer's disease. This breakthrough could lead to new treatments aimed at slowing or preventing the progression of Alzheimer's by improving cellular interactions with harmful plaques.
