New research from the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston may have finally homed in on the reason behind this strange observation, and the results could lead to a whole new way to battle this devastating disease.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"https:\/\/newatlas.com\/unique-protein-signature-alzheimers-protection\/55940\/\">https:\/\/newatlas.com\/unique-protein-signature-alzheimers-protection\/55940\/<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the fundamental pathological markers seen in patients suffering from Alzheimer\u2019s disease is a build-up of two proteins \u2014 amyloid beta and tau \u2014 in the brain.
