Amyloid-clearing treatment may curb tau buildup for years in Alzheimer's brain

An investigation of the encephalon of a deceased Alzheimer's illness (AD) objective proceedings subordinate recovered that regions wherever an anti-amyloid therapy successfully cleared amyloid plaques showed small to nary grounds of tau tangles, a hallmark of AD intimately linked to neurodegeneration and cognitive decline. In contrast, neighboring areas wherever amyloid remained showed substantially much tau pathology and signs of ongoing encephalon damage.
