anti-amyloid therapies

Anti-amyloid therapies are treatments aimed at reducing or removing amyloid plaques—abnormal protein deposits called beta-amyloid—that accumulate in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease. These plaques are believed to contribute to cognitive decline by disrupting communication between brain cells. The therapies work by targeting and clearing these plaques, either through medications that prevent their formation or by helping the body remove them more effectively. While still under research, these treatments offer hope for slowing the progression of Alzheimer's and preserving memory and thinking skills.
