An SUV39H1-targeting inhibitor lowered H3K9me3 and improved pathology in mice.

Inhibiting the H3K9me3 Epigenetic Modification Reduces Pathology in Mouse Models of Alzheimer's Disease
Key Takeaways
  • H3K9me3 was increased early across the AD continuum.
  • ETP69 treatment showed reduced cerebral H3K9me3 in mice.
  • Behavioral improvements were reported but causality remains unproven.
