OT Alz and lecanemab
The drug seems to inhibit the plasma contact system; an interaction between proteins in the blood that helps promote clotting and inflammation. Though useful in repairing tissue damage, the system can cause harm when overstimulated in sensitive areas such as brain tissue, risking pathologies like Alzheimer's disease.
"If you block the contact system, you're going to get less Alzheimer's pathology," says neurobiologist Sidney Strickland.
