Our research will examine the role of a protein known as the receptor-associated protein (RAP) in Alzheimer's disease. We will determine whether the protein contributes to the progression of Alzheimer's disease and we will examine the possiblity that that RAP may be used as a drug to treat the disease. The project could potentially have direct benefit for patients by leading to an effective treatment for dementia associated with Alzheimer's disease.

我们的研究将检查一种被称为受体相关蛋白（RAP）的蛋白质在阿尔茨海默病中的作用。我们将确定这种蛋白质是否有助于阿尔茨海默病的进展，我们将研究RAP可能被用作治疗这种疾病的药物的可能性。该项目可能通过有效治疗与阿尔茨海默病相关的痴呆症而对患者产生直接益处。
