A team of researchers from Johns Hopkins Medicine (United States) says they have revealed a possible molecular connection between air pollution and an increased risk of developing dementia with Lewy bodies.The findings, published in Science, add to a growing set of evidences that indicate how environmental factors can trigger harmful protein changes in the brain leading to neurodegeneration.Lewy's body diseases are a group of neurodegenerative d…
Dementia risk traced to air pollution in new research
Experts from Johns Hopkins Medicine found air pollution may fuel deadly brain changes behind Lewy body dementia. The study, published this morning, builds on years of research showing PM2.5 is associated with a higher risk of dementia. Here, experts focused on Lewy body dementia, an incurable condition. The disease is caused by the accumulation of abnormal proteins called alpha-synuclein and results in symptoms such as memory problems, confusion…
Air pollution linked to brain changes tied to dementia
A team of researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine has uncovered new evidence that connects air pollution to brain changes linked to Lewy body dementia, a serious and currently incurable condition. Lewy body diseases, which include Parkinson’s disease and Lewy body dementia, are marked by abnormal clumps of a protein called alpha-synuclein. These clumps, known as Lewy bodies, interfere with normal brain function and cause symptoms such as memory pr…
