New Compounds Target Enzyme to Protect Brain Cells in Alzheimer's Models

Researchers have identified an enzyme, GRK2, that clumps and damages mitochondria in the brains of mice with Alzheimer's disease. Newly developed chemical compounds that prevent or remove these clumps have shown promise in preserving memory and slowing brain cell death in these animal models. This discovery could inform future therapeutic strategies for Alzheimer's disease.
