In a new study, a Salk team found that J147 binds to a protein called ATP synthase, which is responsible for producing a common cellular “energy currency” known as ATP. This protein is known to control aging in worms and flies, and the researchers found that by binding to it the drug was able to prevent age-related damage to the brain.

Scientists report that a novel small-molecule drug, which works by stopping toxic ion flow in the brain that is known to trigger neuronal apoptosis, can restore brain function and memory in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The team believes the drug could be used to treat AD and other neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s and amyotropic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

You would think that all would be working cooperatively towards a solution for Alzheimer’s but this is not the case. The ridiculous costs and time that it takes to run effective tests lead to a short time to recoup your research costs when you would find a workable solution. Researchers can not make a good case that this is a wise investment for Pharmaceutical companies.
So something is really wrong here and the government should look into this.

Buildups of “clumpy” proteins in the brain are well-known hallmarks of Alzheimer’s, but not everyone who has them goes on to develop this neurodegenerative disease. Why is that? New research investigates.
