But what if drugs built to limit plaque buildup are targeting the wrong area? New research suggests the origins of the plaque may predate the misfolded protein that has guided recent therapeutic approaches.
That’s the top-line conclusion of a new study published by a team of scientists from NYU led by Ju-Hyun Lee, Ph.D., which identified intracellular pit stops in handling cellular waste as the potential origin of amyloid beta plaques. It’s a departure from the popular hypothesis that the development of Alzheimer’s is sourced to the buildup of amyloid plaques outside of the cell.
Gee. What a hint. 20 years and many billions of dollars on amyloid-theory drugs, which we have been yelling for TEN YEARS was the wrong approach -- and all other approaches were scorned and not funded.
What a hint. I wonder if they will take it this time?
