Interventions aimed at reducing beta amyloid plaques are a major focus of AD research. These include:
Pharmacological Treatments: Drugs designed to inhibit beta-secretase or gamma-secretase, or to promote the clearance of beta-amyloid peptides. Lifestyle Modifications: Encouraging a heart-healthy diet, regular exercise, and mental stimulation to potentially reduce plaque risk. Immunotherapy: Development of vaccines or antibodies to target and remove beta-amyloid plaques.
