๐ง Scientists Found a Hidden Way Alzheimer's Kills Brain Cells That No One Had Spotted
Researchers at King's College London and the UK Dementia Research Institute identified a previously unknown brain cell death process called karyoptosis that appears to play a major role in Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal dementia. It's separate from the molecular pathways scientists have spent decades targeting, which may partly explain why treatments have fallen short. Understanding this mechanism could open entirely new treatment directions. What if slowing this one process changes everything?
