Proteins found on the surface of animal cells and in between them could be a target for drugs to stopThose links encouraged the US team behind the study, led by researchers from Pennsylvania State University, to investigate further."Drugs that affect the earliest cellular deficits might provide important tools to stop or reverse the disease process."
What's more, when the human cells were blocked from producing chains of heparan sulfate, it affected more than half of the approximately 70 genes linked to the latter stages of Alzheimer's. The thinking is that HSPGs could play a role at different stages of
