Critical protein shows promise for the treatment of Alzheimer's

(Arizona State University) In new research, Salvatore Oddo and his Biodesign Institute colleagues examine p62 -- a critical protein associated with tell-tale symptoms of Alzheimer's.The study demonstrates for the first time that p62 regulates the degradation or turnover of Aβ in living systems, which may help reverse the effects of damaging plaques in the brain.
