The research team included professors Christian Griñán Ferré and Mercè Pallàs Lliberia, along with researchers from UBneuro, CIBERNED, IBUB, INSA-UB, IDIBAPS and other national and international institutions.
"The FLAV-27 compound represents an innovative and promising approach for Alzheimer's, with the potential to modify the disease, since it does not act only on its symptoms or a single pathological biomarker, but directly on its underlying molecular mechanisms," explains Aina Bellver Sanchis, researcher at the Institute of Neurosciences of the UB (UBneuro) and first author of the work.
