Lithium Reveals New Alzheimer's Insights
A Finnish study has revealed that lithium, a metal used for years to treat mental disorders, affects the cells of Alzheimer's patients in more complex ways than previously thought. This may explain the failure of past experiments in using it as a treatment for the disease. The results showed that lithium impacts not only the tau protein but also modifies other chemical sites and influences a range of enzymes and proteins that regulate the structure of nerve cells, which could aid in developing more precise treatments in the future.
