But, in around 10% of cases of frontotemporal dementia, scientists had yet to identify the rogue protein. Now, scientists have pinpointed aggregated structures of the protein TAF15 in these cases.

Is there anything we can do to avoid that protein? Diet or exercise?

I recommend getting rid of your DNA. That should remove any protein related issues.
