Scientists may have finally found how Alzheimer's kills brain cells
Researchers have identified a previously overlooked mechanism of brain cell death that appears to play a major role in Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal dementia. The finding could lead to new treatments aimed at slowing neuron loss by interrupting the process before cells are destroyed.
Scientists have found that in Alzheimer's disease and fronto-temporal dementia, brain cells can die due to a previously unknown mechanism. The discovery will help develop treatments that will slow the loss of neurons.
Major Breakthrough in the Fight Against Alzheimer's Disease: Scientists Discover How Brain Cells Die
New research reveals a previously unknown process that destroys neurons and could pave the way for new therapies for dementia.
Scientists at King’s College London have discovered a new mechanism of cell death, called karyoptosis, which may be key to understanding neuronal death in diseases such as Alzheimer's and frontotemporal dementia. The research, published in the journal Nature Communications, points to new treatment possibilities aimed at interrupting this process before the cells are destroyed. Discovery of the karyoptosis mechanism Karyoptosis is a chemical proc…
