One of the many diseases caused by faulty cell-to-cell communication is Alzheimer’s disease. This disease causes many cells in the brain to die. Therefore, as more and more of the cells die, it causes the brain to shrink.

Tau is a protein in the brain that delivers nutrients and other important elements to the brain cells. The effect of the twisted protein inhibits the…
