Science And Health Breakthroughs

Scientists have found that by blocking an immune molecule called STING, brains were protected from mental decline … in mice.  In another study, a “guardian of the brain” was discovered to actually contain an enzyme that is highly enriched and elevated in cases of Alzheimer’s disease.  Blocking that enzyme with a newly developed drug also blocked brain inflammation while protecting the brain guardian.  Such breakthrough research represents new understanding into the exact causes of Alzheimer’s disease, and other neurodegenerative conditions, and highlights ongoing work to target, modify and treat the diseases.
