๐ง Scientists discover a brain protein that naturally shields against Alzheimer's tau tangles
Researchers at Sanford Burnham Prebys published findings in Science Advances this week showing that a protein called SORLA significantly reduces toxic tau tangles โ one of Alzheimer's defining features. In mouse models, boosted SORLA levels cut tau accumulation, brain atrophy, and disease-related gene activity. The real kicker: SORLA was already known to fight amyloid-beta plaques, making it a two-front defender against the disease. Could boosting a single brain protein become a real treatment path for Alzheimer's and other dementias?
