Are these two Alzheimer's proteins, amyloid and Tau protein?
- Are these two Alzheimer's proteins, amyloid and Tau protein?
- And for example, beta amyloid actually is generated from an amyloid precursor protein.
- So what we don't fully understand is exactly what does removing amyloid do?
- Flush water through its through its tissue and flush out a lot of toxins, including beta amyloid, which is associated with Alzheimer's disease.
- You can see people with massive amounts of amyloid in the brain who are still quite normal cognitively.
- And that's where things like amyloid Blake or amyloid beta, which accumulates in Alzheimer's disease, tend to be cleaned out.
- These two presence of amyloid beta and two inclusion are the hallmark and the definition of Alzheimer's disease.

- And Biogen showed that it's drug, Adihelm reduces amyloid plaques in the brain.
- It's called ginger pan that crosses into the brain and causes the brain to lay down amyloid plaque.
- So these genes are presenol in one, presenol in two, and amyloid precursor protein, right?
- I give the example of Alzheimer's, right and, and amyloid.

Etymology
Amyloid was named from Greek amylon 'starch' plus -oid 'like' because early scientists thought the deposits looked like starch. That's why the disease-related amyloid is a waxy protein that was called 'starch-like' even though it is a protein, not starch.
