Iron overload speeds up Alzheimer's - The Times of India: "Scientists have determined how iron contributes to the production of brain-destroying plaques found in Alzheimer's patients.
The team from Massachusetts General Hospital researchers reports that there is a very close link between elevated levels of iron in the brain and the enhanced production of the amyloid precursor protein, which in Alzheimer's disease breaks down into a peptide that makes up the destructive plaques."
