Myelin aging: A new perspective on the progression of Alzheimer's disease
summary: Age-related degeneration of myelin, the insulating layer surrounding neurons in the brain, actively drives disease-associated changes in Alzheimer’s disease. The researchers examined Alzheimer’s disease mouse models with myelin defects and found that these defects promoted the formation of amyloid plaques, a hallmark manifestation of Alzheimer’s disease. Defects in myelin also appear to overwhelm […]
