SORLA: Brain’s Natural Shield Against Tau | Science News
Scientists have uncovered a brain protector: a protein called SORLA that shields neurons from toxic tau tangles linked to Alzheimer’s. In mice, boosting SORLA reduced tau buildup, preserved brain tissue, and strengthened neural connections—while lacking it worsened damage. Beyond tau, SORLA also safeguards synapses, vital for brain communication. Researchers now aim to study human cells and explore existing drugs that could mimic SORLA’s effects, offering a promising new path to slow or prevent dementia.
