An innovative study has targeted a new way that brain cells die from Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). This is the first EVER evidence of a new biological pathway linked to AD severity & loss of brain tissue-all hallmark symptoms of AD. The pathway is called necroptosis, and it causes nerve loss. This new research is thought to lead to innovative methods of Alzheimer’s treatment in the future.
The study was published by Arizona State University-Banner Health neuroscientist Salvatore Oddo and his colleagues from Phoenix’s Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) — as well as the University of California, Irvine, and Mount Sinai in New York.
“We anticipate that our findings will spur a new…
