00:00Scientists may have found a new way to target Alzheimer's.
00:03Researchers at ETH Zurich identified a protein called GRK2.
00:07In dementia, inactive GRK2 can form harmful clumps inside brain cells.
00:13These clumps can disrupt mitochondria, the cell's energy centers.
00:17Researchers developed an experimental compound called Compound 10.
00:21In mice, it stopped GRK2 from forming these damaging aggregates.
00:26The treatment also reduced amyloid beta buildup in the brain.
00:30Nerve cells survived longer, and signs of brain damage slowed.
00:34The compound also appeared to improve heart function in mice.
00:38Researchers even observed fewer signs of aging, including gray hair.
00:42But there's an important limitation.
00:45The treatment has only been tested in mice.
00:48Compound 10 has not yet been tested as a treatment for people.
00:51Scientists are now looking for partners to advance the research.
00:55If successful, GRK2 could offer a completely different approach to Alzheimer's treatment.

01:07In lightist thought of the fact that there's so many hope thoughts and presence.
01:07I love to do Peatles here.
01:07We'll see you today's sehr-bakinutely excited.
