It could be possible to break down genetic blockades inside the brain that causes memory loss from Alzheimer’s disease, the study published in Cell Reports indicates.

Memory loss occurs when the HCAC2 enzyme compresses the brain’s memory genes until they are no longer useful. Once they are useless, forgetfulness occurs, and it becomes more difficult for individuals to form new memories.

Previous efforts to simply block HCAC2 have been difficult without impacting other HDAC enzymes, which can impact internal organs. But MIT’s research only affects harmful HCAC2 exclusively, without impacting the other HDAC enzymes. This accomplishment has never been achieved before.

A good thing if it works in humans as it has in mice/rats.
