Scientists discover how brain cells die in Alzheimer’s

Scientists discover how brain cells die in Alzheimer’s

Education, Health & Wellbeing
Scientists in the UK and Belgium think they have figured out how brain cells die in Alzheimer's disease. It has been a mystery and a source of scientific debate for decades. But the team, writing in the journal Science, connect the abnormal proteins that build up in the brain with "necroptosis" - a form of cellular suicide. The findings have been described as "cool" and "exciting", as they give new ideas for treating the disease.
