Scientists discover brain ‘switches’ that help eliminate Alzheimer’s plaques

Activation of two somatostatin receptors enhances beta-amyloid degradation and improves memory in models of Alzheimer’s disease. Scientists from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden and the RIKEN Center for Brain Science in Japan have discovered two brain receptors that help regulate the breakdown of amyloid beta, a process disrupted in Alzheimer’s disease. The researchers […]
