Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine report that raising levels of the protein Sox9 in astrocytes enables these brain support cells to remove existing amyloid plaques and preserve cognitive performance in mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease that already show memory deficits. The findings, published in Nature Neuroscience, highlight astrocytes as a potential target for slowing neurodegenerative decline.
