Lucknow: In a significant scientific breakthrough, the Biogerontology and Neurobiology Laboratory at the University of Lucknow has identified a plant-derived compound that could contribute to future treatments for Alzheimer’s disease — the world’s leading cause of dementia. The study spotlights hydroxychavicol, a natural molecule found in Piper betle (betel leaf), commonly chewed across India.

Three major proteins — COMT,…
