Deteriorating neurons are source of human brain inflammation in Alzheimer’s disease
December 1, 2022 by NewsBot
Scientists have found that neurons from people with Alzheimer's disease show deterioration and undergo a late-life stress process called senescence. These neurons have a loss of functional activity, impaired metabolism, and increased brain inflammation. The researchers also discovered that targeting the deteriorating neurons with therapeutics could be an effective strategy for preventing or treating Alzheimer's disease.
