A newly identified molecule called OLE helped restore the brain’s immune cells to a more protective state in Alzheimer’s models. The treatment reduced toxic plaque buildup and improved memory, raising hopes for a new therapeutic approach.
Researchers from the Miguel Hernández University of Elche and the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne have identified a new molecule called OLE, which may reverse the deterioration of immune cells in the brain in Alzheimer's models. The discovery, published in the journal Cell Death and Disease, suggests a new path for therapies against the disease. Identification of the OLE molecule: OLE is a molecule derived from the PM20D1 gene, which ha…
