AlzProtect SAS believes that Alzheimer's disease is caused by the loss of neuroprotective factors including APP intracellular domain and sAPPalpha, both of which are produced during the metabolism of amyloid precursor protein. The start-up is developing compounds that can stimulate the APP, increasing the production of neuroprotective compounds.
