Scientists found the hidden switch fueling alzheimer’s brain inflammation
Scientists at Scripps Research have uncovered a molecular “switch” that appears to fuel the damaging brain inflammation seen in Alzheimer’s disease. They found that a protein called STING becomes chemically altered in a way that keeps the brain’s immune system stuck in overdrive, harming the connections between nerve cells.
Researchers at the Scripps Research Institute have discovered a molecular mechanism that may be responsible for the harmful brain inflammation seen in Alzheimer's disease. Identifying this inflammatory 'switch' opens new possibilities for treating the condition. Discovery of the inflammatory mechanism The research team revealed that chronic inflammation in the brains of Alzheimer's patients is linked to a chemical modification of the STING prote…
