Rutgers researcher Karl Herrup and colleagues at Case Western Reserve University have discovered that a protein that suppresses cell division in brain cells effectively &#8220;puts the brakes&#8221; on the dementia that comes with Alzheimer&#8217;s disease (AD). When the brakes fail, dementia results.
