Researchers have made a breakthrough in Alzheimer's disease (AD) research by identifying a protein that could be key in slowing the disease's progression. They found that the protein Slingshot Homolog-1 (SSH1) inhibits the protective biological activity of Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), which normally defends the brain against oxidative damage.
