: This commentary offers a detailed examination of a newly published paper on the effects of small molecule decoys of amyloid-β (Aβ) aggregation on microglial activation. It was discovered that the NSC16224 decoy peptide inhibited proinflammatory cytokines TNFα and IL6 release from microglia in response to Aβ40 and Aβ42 treatment. The research addresses the potential of blocking a sequence of events that lead to the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here, we discuss the significance of these results in neuroinflammation, highlighting the greater implications for how decoy peptides would be interesting for the research and development of new drugs for AD therapy.
