Brains affected by Alzheimer's disease are characterized by damaging clumps and tangles that interfere with neurons – but a new study describes a drug that could potentially suppress half the problem. The drug is RI-AG03, and it's a peptide inhibitor (a blocker of proteins). In tests on fruit flies and human cells, it has shown a positive effect in reducing neuron degeneration and the tangling of tau proteins.
