Study Reveals Key Alzheimer's Pathway - And Blocking It Reverses Symptoms in Mice
Blocking this pathway in mouse brains modeled on Alzheimer's prevented damage to their synapse connections and reduced the buildup of potentially toxic tau proteins – both hallmarks of the condition.

The researchers looked at the effects of stress on microglia cells. (Flury et al., Neuron, 2024)
