Tubulin May Redirect Toxic Protein Clumps in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s
Tubulin’s Protective Role in Neurodegeneration
A recent study from Baylor College of Medicine proposes a novel strategy for tackling Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Instead of directly inhibiting the aggregation of the disease‑associated proteins Tau and alpha‑synuclein, the researchers found that tubulin—the protein that forms
