  • Alzheimer's research in vitro: transport protein reduces plaque production
    Using in vitro cell cultures, scientists from the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) in Phoenix, Arizona, have shown that the blood-brain barrier ABC transporter ABCC1 is not only capable of exporting the feared amyloid-ß from the cytoplasm of human cells. Its overexpression can even significantly reduce amyloid-ß production.
