A group of South Korean researchers working under the direction of C. Justin LEE, head of the Center for Cognition and Sociality at the Institute for Basic Science, have made a unique discovery that can completely change how Alzheimer’s disease is detected and treated.
The researchers showed how the brain’s astrocytes might absorb excessive amounts of acetates and transform into dangerous reactive astrocytes. They proceeded to create a brand-new imaging method that uses this process to watch the interactions between astrocytes and neurons in real time.
One of the main forms of dementia, Alzheimer’s disease (AD), is linked to neuroinflammation in the brain.
Although amyloid beta plaques are widely considered to be the origin of Alzheimer’s disease by traditional neurology, therapies aimed at these plaques have demonstrated limited effect in either treating or delaying the illness’s development.
