Researchers have used a genetic engineering strategy to dramatically reduce levels of taua key protein that accumulates and becomes tangled in the brain during the development of Alzheimer’s diseasein an animal model of the condition. The results, which come from investigators at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Sangamo Therapeutics Inc., could lead to a potentially promising treatment for patients with this devastating illness.
