Compounds identified that stabilize retromer protein complex, which protects neurons from amyloid-beta
NEW YORK, NY–(ENEWSPF)–April 22, 2014 — A team of researchers from Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC), Weill Cornell Medical College, and Brandeis University has devised a wholly new approach to the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease involving the so-called retromer protein complex. Retromer plays a vital role in neurons, steering amyloid precursor protein (APP) away from a region of the cell where APP is…
