ITHACA, New York, Nov. 8 -- Cornell University issued the following news:
Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine have demonstrated how amyloid beta, a peptide associated with Alzheimer's disease, can interact with a protein receptor on immune cells in the brain. This triggers a reaction that damages blood vessels and causes neurodegeneration.
The findings, published Oct. 3 in Molecular Neurodegeneration, may help researchers understand how dementia develops in diseases s . . .
