In Alzheimer's disease, a protein (peptide) forms clumps in the brain and causes sufferers to lose their memory. In a recently published article, a research group at Uppsala University described a new treatment method that increases the body's own degradation of the building blocks that lead to these protein clumps. Greta Hultqvist, assistant professor at the Department of Pharmaceutical Biosciences, led the research study.
