Project Details
Description
Alzheimer's disease is characterized by brain accumulations of the protein fragment beta-amyloid. This fragment is thought to disrupt cell-to-cell communication in the brain and cause brain cell death. Many researchers have been looking for compounds that can inhibit the production of harmful beta-amyloid, and possibly slow or prevent Alzheimer progression.
