A new Northwestern study shows that RNA interference may play a key role in Alzheimer’s. For the first time, scientists have identified short strands of toxic RNAs that contribute to brain cell death and DNA damage in Alzheimer’s and aged brains. Short strands of protective RNAs are decreased during aging which may allow Alzheimer’s to develop.

Alzheimer’s disease, which is expected to have affected about 6.7 million patients in the U.S. in 2023, results in a substantial loss of brain cells. But the events that cause neuron death are poorly understood.A new Northwestern Medicine study shows

Researchers found a possible new cause of neuron death in Alzheimer’s disease through toxic RNA strands.

Toxic strands of RNA known to cause cells to self-destruct have been found in both Alzheimer's and aging brains, suggesting a new approach to treating neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia.

During the aging process, a reduction in the levels of protective RNAs may contribute to the onset of Alzheimers disease.

Interestingly, SuperAgers, older individuals with exceptional memory, possess higher levels of protective sRNAs.
