Researchers discover new protein that may play role in Alzheimer’s disease
Exactly why Alzheimer’s disease develops is still unknown, but research presented at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference® 2014 (AAIC®) last week reported a new protein that potentially may play a role. Researchers said what they don’t yet know is whether the protein, called TDP-43, is a cause of Alzheimer’s or develops due to the disease. TDP-43 has previously been linked to ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease) and other brain diseases. Additional research is necessary to clarify its role in Alzheimer’s.
