New Target for Alzheimer’s: Researchers Discover Enzyme Behind Tau …
13 hours ago · Pinterest Telegram. Researchers discovered that the enzyme TYK2 alters the tau protein, promoting its accumulation in the brain, a process linked to Alzheimer’s disease in animal models. Partially inhibiting TYK2 could reduce tau levels, suggesting a potential therapeutic approach for Alzheimer’s and similar neurodegenerative diseases.
