A team of neurologists, stem cell specialists and molecular biologists affiliated with several institutions in the U.S. and led by a group at Stanford University School of Medicine has found evidence that the root cause of Alzheimer’s disease may be fat buildup in brain cells. The study is published in the journal Nature.
How what works?
Many years ago a study found increased aluminium buildup in the brain of Alzheimer patients. Since then it has been linked as a possible cause or contributor.
