It may even restore memory to cells already affected.

This is big news for brain health.

A few days ago in the journal Cell Reports, investigators reported that molecules were identified that could interfere with the progression of healthy brain prion protein cells, to those with Alzheimer's or other brain degenerative disease (1).

PRION PROTEINS AND ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE

Prion proteins are protein carbohydrate combinations found on brain neurons and spinal cord cells.

When they are healthy, they set on the outside of the neurons without causing harm. However, when they interact with amyloid beta peptides, they form a folded structure which has dire consequences (2).

Amyloid beta peptides portions of a larger protein that has broken off and become diseased and destructive.

Once infected and folded, prion proteins resist healing and recycling like healthy proteins. Instead, they proliferate and cause a devastating cascade of degenerative events (3). These include:

• The accumulation of brain plaques

• An immune system response that is destructive to the brain

• Damage of brain synapses

Together, these events lead to degeneration of brain function and structure, contributing to the formation of lethal sponge-like holes in the brain.

THE DESIGNER MOLECULE COCKTAIL STUDY

Knowing this, Yale researchers set out to find a molecule or combination of molecules that could halt this devastating interaction or prion protein with amyloid beta and progression that follows.

After studying tens of thousands of molecules they found that an old antibiotic that initially proved promising.

However, it was only effective after it decomposed into a polymer.

With this data in hand, they searched further and found small polymers that remained active and effective for use. What's more, these polymers could also cross the blood-brain barrier... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
