Scientists found a hidden Alzheimer’s trigger and shut it down

Researchers at the Indiana University School of Medicine have identified a potential new way to treat Alzheimer's disease by targeting an enzyme in the brain called IDOL. In laboratory studies, removing the enzyme from neurons significantly reduced amyloid plaques, one of the main biological hallmarks of Alzheimer's, and may also help the brain better resist damage linked to the disease.
