Alzheimer s symptoms could be due to decline in brain protein not accumulation of amyloid plaques
Experts estimate more than 6 million Americans are living with Alzheimer s dementia. But a recent study, led by the University of Cincinnati, sheds new light on the disease and a highly debated new drug therapy.
The UC-led study, conducted in collaboration with the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, claims that the treatment of Alzheimer s disease might lie in normalizing the levels of a specific brain protein called amyloid-beta peptide.
