While this unfavorable result was actually unsatisfactory, we remain focused to tap as a higher strong belief aim at in Alzheimer's disease and program to continue studying tau biology," Skovronsky said, talking on a second-quarter earnings call Thursday.

It's likewise been proposed as a possible target to improve immunotherapy, in particular immune gate inhibitors.
