Possible new Alzheimer’s treatment
A protein called Transthyretin (TTR) that carries vitamin A and thyroxine (a hormone) is mostly produced in the liver and in parts of the brain where cerebrospinal fluid is produced. New research has found that it may be possible to give people a pill to boost TTR production in neurons in order to prevent or delay Alzheimer’s.
