New Alzheimer’s Research Suggests Possible Cause: The Interaction of Proteins in the Brain

Researchers discover by looking at amyloid-beta and tau independently that the interaction between the proteins could be the key to the cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer's disease. As the interaction between the two proteins increased, the progression of Alzheimer's worsened.
