Taking inspiration from the CAR T-cell technology used to provide personalized cancer treatments, researchers have conducted a proof-of-concept study showing how similar compounds can precisely target protein tangles and plaques in the brain. For their study, the Buck researchers built a set of CARs using portions of Alzheimer's antibodies, some of which are currently being tested in phase III clinical trials. “A lot of researchers will test their constructs and report out results, but they won't give you the complete amino acid sequences to make them," concludes Walton.
