Story summary

Johns Hopkins University researchers link the CSE protein to cognitive function affected by Alzheimer's disease.
In mice lacking CSE, memory loss and increased oxidative stress occur, mirroring Alzheimer's symptoms.
Co-author Solomon Snyder notes that this discovery could lead to new treatment pathways.
The findings build on earlier work showing CSE's importance in brain health and suggest targeting this protein may offer therapeutic potential for Alzheimer's.
