Study identifies a new way brain cells die in Alzheimer's disease
(Medical Xpress) -- A new study challenges conventional thinking about how brain cells die in Alzheimers disease. The findings demonstrate a previously unknown mechanism by which the cells die and will help lead researchers in new directions for treating the degenerative brain disease. The study by scientists at the University of Calgarys Hotchkiss Brain Institute is published this week in the prestigious journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS)....
