Summary
Our researchers have developed a method of treating amyloid disease found in both Alzheimer’s disease patients and Parkinson’s disease patients. They have shown that the plant mucilage extract effectively interferes with the protein accumulation pathway in the brain and successfully targets the amyloid beta protein plaques. Experimentally, both the gelling and non-gelling forms of the mucilage have been shown to disrupt the pathway leading to amyloid beta aggregation.
