Part 8/9:
Implications for Alzheimer’s Research
A notable application discussed involved Alzheimer's disease and the deterioration of microtubules. While much of the funding has been directed toward tackling amyloid plaques—structures that have little correlation with cognitive decline—there was a call to shift focus toward stabilizing microtubules, which are crucial for maintaining cognitive functions.
A hint of optimism emerged in exploring therapies that might resonate microtubules, potentially rediscovering lost faculties through an innovative understanding of brain function.
