Could an investigational drug that targets DNA damage help treat Alzheimer's disease?

Fri, 10 Jul 2026 09:58:08 EDT

Using a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease, investigators found that treatment with KCL-286, a molecule that activates the retinoic acid receptor-β�(RARβ), enhanced the repair of DNA damage in neurons. Activation of the receptor triggers a pathway that ultimately causes a protein complex to bind to DNA and promote the expression of certain repair genes. KCL-286 also reduced neuronal inflammation and abnormal brain immune activity, processes thought to contribute to Alzheimer's di...
