New discovery could offer significant answers on Alzheimer’s disease

A significant step forward in scientists’ understanding of Alzheimer’s disease

A University of Liverpool study advances Alzheimer’s disease understanding by uncovering how disrupted mechanical signaling in the brain contributes to the condition. Researchers identified a crucial interaction between Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) and talin, essential for memory formation and maintenance. Disruptions in this signaling pathway may lead to Alzheimer’s disease, which accounts for 60-80% of global dementia cases.
