New compounds may unlock hidden drivers of Alzheimer's disease

Researchers at Vanderbilt University developed the first selective compound designed to inhibit TAOK-1, a poorly understood protein linked to Alzheimer's disease. They also discovered a second compound that activates the entire TAOK protein family, providing an unexpected new research tool. Together, the compounds could shed light on hidden disease mechanisms and point toward new treatment strategies.
