Human neuron model paves the way for new Alzheimer's therapies - EurekAlert


<p>Weill Cornell Medicine scientists have developed an innovative human neuron model that robustly simulates the spread of tau protein aggregates in the brain&mdash;a process that drives cognitive decline in Alzheimer&#39;s disease and frontotemporal dementia. This new model has led to the identification of novel therapeutic targets that could potentially block tau spread.</p>
