Researchers have developed two novel chemical compounds that allow scientists to precisely control a poorly understood protein linked to Alzheimer's disease. By either blocking or activating this protein, these new tools will help global researchers uncover hidden disease mechanisms and accelerate the development of targeted therapies.
