Dual-Targeting Drug Halts Tau Accumulation in Alzheimer’s

Scientists have developed a drug that targets both major aggregation-promoting sites of the Tau protein, a key player in Alzheimer's disease. This peptide inhibitor, RI-AG03, effectively prevents Tau buildup in lab studies and fruit flies, offering hope for new Alzheimer's treatments.

New Alzheimer’s Drug Boosts Brain Protection, Restores Memory

Researchers have identified a promising drug candidate, DDL-357, that improves memory in Alzheimer’s mouse models by increasing levels of a protective brain protein called clusterin (CLU). CLU helps prevent the buildup of toxic amyloid-beta plaques and tau proteins, both key drivers of Alzheimer’s disease.
