Iron accumulation linked to Alzheimer’s disease | National Monitor: Alzheimer’s has notoriously been one of the most difficult diseases to battle. Aging increases the risk of developing the disorder and there is no way to stop the aging process.
The majority of researchers believe two proteins are responsible for the Alzheimer’s disease: tau and beta-amyloid. It is believed that as the aging process takes place, these two proteins disrupt signaling between neurons or kill them altogether. However, a new study from UCLA suggest a new possibility for the cause: accumulation of iron.
