Gene Therapy in Alzheimer's Disease Mouse Model Preserves Learning and Memory
Gene Therapy in Alzheimer’s Disease Mouse Model Preserves Learning and Memory News_release Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine, with colleagues elsewhere, have used gene therapy to prevent learning and memory loss in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), a key step toward eventually testing the approach in humans with the neurodegenerative disease. The findings are published online in advance of the June 11, 2021 issue of AD is characterized by the accumulation of clumps of misfolded proteins called amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tau tangles,...
