Stanford Releases New Study on Factors That May Affect Development of Alzhemier’s
Researchers at Stanford Unviersity School of Medicine have released their latest study of brain cell degeneration in mice, suggesting the potential importance of blocking the influence of certain molecular processes associated with inflamation and Alzheimer’s disease:
“’Microglia are the brain’s beat cops,’ said Katrin Andreasson, MD, professor of neurology and neurological sciences and the study’s senior author. ‘Our experiments show that keeping them on the right track counters memory loss and preserves healthy brain physiology.’”
Here is Stanford’s new release, summarizing the study published this month in the Journal of Clinical Investigation. Hat tip to Dickinson Law’s Professor Laurel Terry for sharing this news.
