Gene Involved in Neuronal Structure and Function May Protect Against Alzheimer’s Disease

Overexpression of KIF11, a gene associated with the structure and function of neurons, prevents and protects against cognitive decline in both mouse models and humans with Alzheimer's disease pathologies. Boosting KIF11 expression could be beneficial in preventing cognitive decline, and boosting learning and memory in Alzheimer's patients.
