Scientists are working to develop drugs to treat Alzheimer’s disease

Ученые работают над созданием лекарств для лечения болезни АльцгеймераAmerican scientists want to develop a pill that can prevent the accumulation of toxic molecules in the brain.

Due to this it will be possible to delay or prevent Alzheimer’s disease.

Specialists aim to prevent Alzheimer’s disease. After studies, scientists have learned that the level of the Tau protein have to be reduced, as it provokes the accumulation of toxic molecules. They, in turn, increase the vulnerability of the brain to this disease.

According to the Huda zoghbi, Professor, Baylor University in Texas, a person is not to avoid excess accumulation of the Tau protein, as it contributes to the development of Alzheimer’s disease. You need to create a drug that will help keep the protein at a certain level.

The next step the scientists was figuring out which enzymes can affect the accumulation of the Tau protein. Researchers were able to inhibit chemicals called conasami.
