EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE UNTIL SUNDAY, JULY 27, 2008 at 12:30 p.m. CT Researchers at NYU Langone Medical Center and the Nathan Kline Institute found that the inhibition of the calpain enzyme, which is involved in various cellular processes, led to a robust decrease in amyloid deposition in mice that develop plaque pathology commonly seen in Alzheimer's disease. Modulation of neuronal calpain activity presents a potential therapeutic approach to Alzheimer's, they report.

Partial gene-deletion improves memory dysfunction in Alzheimer's mice

EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE UNTIL SUNDAY, JULY 27, 2008 at 12:30 p.m. CT

An animal study by NYU researchers reveals that partially inhibiting an enzyme that initiates the release of amyloid beta led to an improvement in neuronal and cognitive deficits in mice that produced excessive amounts of the plaque forming protein. The approach poses a possibility to rescue Alzheimer's-related deficits, the researchers report.
