Alzheimer, individuato anticorpo monoclonale contro la malattia

Uno studio coordinato da ricercatori del nostro Istituto e dall’Istituto di farmacologia traslazionale del Cnr, svolto in collaborazione con Irccs Fondazione S. Lucia e Fondazione Ebri, ha dimostrato come l’anticorpo monoclonale 12A12 determini miglioramenti significativi nelle principali alterazioni prodotte da questa malattia neurodegenerativa. La ricerca è stata pubblicata sull’International Journal of Molecular Sciences.
