Alzheimer's Breakthrough: Blocking a Single Protein Restores Memory in Mice

Scientists discover that blocking or boosting a single key protein can help the brain fight Alzheimer’s disease, successfully restoring memory and learning abilities in mice with advanced Alzheimer’s, opening a new direction for treatment.

Scientists Restore Memory in Alzheimer's Mice by Blocking a Single Protein

Researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory discover that blocking the PTP1B protein improves learning and memory in an Alzheimer’s mouse model, while helping brain immune cells clear harmful amyloid-β plaques.
