Chronic stress may lead to Alzheimer’s

Chronic stress may lead to Alzheimer’s: Repeated stress may trigger the production and accumulation of insoluble protein aggregates that are associated with Alzheimer’s, a new study has suggested.

The aggregates are similar to neurofibrillary tangles or NFTs, modified protein structures that are one of the physiological hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease.
