Instead of targeting toxic proteins directly, researchers at Monash University have successfully used a copper compound to repair the blood-brain barrier's natural waste-clearing mechanism. This promising shift in focus opens up a fresh pathway for treating Alzheimer's by helping the brain heal itself.
