St. Jude researchers revealed that midkine blocks amyloid beta from forming harmful clumps linked to Alzheimer’s. Without it, the damaging assemblies accelerate, but with it, growth halts. The finding could inspire new drugs that harness midkine’s protective power.
Sorry, downvoted for bad science. Amyloids have never been proven to be behind Alzheimer’s, and in fact most modern studies show no correlation.
I thought there is a correlation but not a proven causal one
[email protected] made some more in-depth comments elsewhere on this post, but in brief, no, none.
The only thing a medicine like this will do is cause brain bleeds and death in the elderly.
Exact, a condition can have neutral secondary and tertiary effects. Just like with aluminium.
