Researchers at the Indiana University School of Medicine have identified a potential new way to treat Alzheimer’s disease by targeting an enzyme in the brain called IDOL.

The discovery comes as scientists continue searching for improved treatments for Alzheimer’s. In recent years, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved two disease modifying drugs, lecanemab and donanemab, which work by clearing amyloid plaque buildup in the brain. These…
