An Attack on the Plaque: Fighting Alzheimer’s Disease using a monoclonal antibody against Beta-Amyloid plaque build-up.
A cure for Alzheimer’s Disease remains frustratingly elusive to scientists and clinicians. The characteristic build-up of beta-amyloid protein and hyper-phosphorylated Tau protein causes irreversible damage to cognitive function and memory. In this week’s episode, we’ll dive into a fascinating discussion on a breakthrough monoclonal antibody that reduces the build-up of plaque in the brain. It’s like fluoride for the brain! (Although not yet recommended by 9/10 neurologists).
The implications of this journal article are astounding. We hope you enjoy this episode!
