Researchers from Drexel University’s College of Arts and Sciences and College of Medicine have found a potential new therapeutic target for Alzheimer’s disease. Expanding on their previous research on Tip60 histone acetyltransferase (HAT), known as the Tip60 enzyme, which controls genes that promote learning and memory in the brain, the Drexel research team generated small molecular compounds that activate Tip60 and restore deficits in the brain found in Alzheimer’s disease patients, such as gene expression programs linked to learning, memory and neurodegeneration.
