Another Genetic Cause Of Alzheimer’s Disease – Part 3 of 3
However, the current investigation into PS1 behavior side-steps this potential scenario – without questioning its validity – by focusing on the possibility that abnormal PS1 function may cause cell destruction unconnected to beta amyloid buildup. PS1 mutations and other factors could, therefore, promote Alzheimer’s in entirely different ways, the team said.
So “There is an urgent need now to view Alzheimer’s disease as caused by multiple factors and approach the treatment from that perspective,” said Nixon, who added that the current finding opens up a new target for Alzheimer’s interventions down the road. Focusing on how to replace brain cells’ normal recycling system is a promising therapeutic approach since its disruption appears to promote Alzheimer’s hgh up club. Nixon and his colleagues report their findings in the June 10th online pour of the journal Cell.
