Groundbreaking pathway found to combat Alzheimer's
Researchers at University of Southern California Stem Cell identified a novel approach to eliminate toxic tau protein buildup in brain cells, a major contributor to Alzheimer’s disease and related neurodegenerative disorders. The study, published in the journal Neuron, demonstrates how suppressing a specific gene can activate cellular cleaning mechanisms to remove harmful tau proteins. The research team conducted experiments using laboratory mice and human brain organoids — miniature lab-grown brain-like structures — to investigate the relationship between the neurotransmitter glutamate and tau accumulation. Glutamate, while essential for normal brain function, including memory and mood regulation, can promote a toxic buildup
