Protein SORLA found to defend the brain against Alzheimer's tau damage
Scientists have found that the protein SORLA may act as a powerful defence against the toxic tau tangles associated with Alzheimer's disease. Mice with extra SORLA showed less tau accumulation, less brain atrophy, and healthier neuronal connections, while mice lacking it suffered more severe damage. The research also identified a possible drug target that could help control harmful activity in the brain's supporting cells.
