Can fixing protein synthesis rescue memory from Alzheimer’s? – Futurity: Research News
A new study with mice offers a promising way to potentially restore cognitive function loss due to Alzheimer’s disease, researchers report.
Researchers have identified a potential means to address the loss of cognitive function due to Alzheimer’s disease by targeting protein synthesis in mice.
The findings reveal that synthetic pharmaceuticals could rescue the activity of brain cells needed for memory formation.
“This work is the first to show that reversing impaired protein synthesis in brains afflicted by Alzheimer’s disease through a pharmacological approach is not only feasible, but also effective,” says Mauricio Martins-Oliveira,…
