Blocking immune cells' path into the brain limits neurodegeneration
There is no treatment available today to stop the death of brain cells in neurodegenerative diseases known as tauopathies, including Alzheimer's disease, in which twisted clumps of a protein called tau accumulate in the brain.
AI Summary
Researchers note that no current therapy can halt brain‑cell loss in tauopathies such as Alzheimer’s disease, where abnormal tau protein aggregates form twisted clumps. Cells adjacent to these tau deposits begin to die, yet emerging evidence indicates that the majority of neuronal damage may arise from mechanisms other than the protein itself.
