Alzheimer's May Start Inside Brain Cells
from Science News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
New research is rewriting the Alzheimer’s playbook: it’s not just about amyloid plaques. Scientists now believe amyloid beta is secretly sabotaging tau inside brain cells, disrupting the microtubules that keep neurons running. This internal hijacking may start years before plaques form—and explains why past treatments failed. As aging weakens the brain’s cleanup systems, amyloid beta builds up, worsening the damage. The future? Therapies that stop amyloid beta from messing with tau—or help cells clear it before it’s too late. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
