Glial Cells Play Key Role in Alzheimerβs Development
New research reveals that glial cells, specifically oligodendrocytes, produce amyloid beta, a protein linked to Alzheimerβs disease, challenging the long-held belief that neurons are the sole contributors. This discovery opens new possibilities for therapies aimed at preventing plaque formation in the brain. Targeting both neurons and glial cells could slow the diseaseβs progression by inhibiting amyloid beta production before plaques form.
