Increasing puromycin-sencitive aminopeptidase, the most abundant brain peptidase in mammals, they were able to slow the disease. The peptidase slowed down a harmful tau protein which are toxic to nerve cells and eventually lead to neurofibrillary tangles. Scientist safely found a way to increase the peptidate by two or three tomes the average amount. By doing this they were able to eliminate the tau proteins in the neurons, they are able to slow down the degeneration of the neurons without causing any side affects to the patient.
Opinion
With this new discovery, scientist now have the ability to slow down the degeneration of the brain. Hopefully, in the near future, they will be able to completly stop the development of Alz heimers in the human brain. With this discovery, scientists have opened new doors to curing more diseases that occur within the brain and the nerve cells. In time, they may discover a medicine or an enzyme that may not only slow down the development of Alzheimers but also recese the process. This will open new oppernunities for people to help cure more life threatening diseases that were though to have no cure.
