New clues suggest how destructive immune cells wreak havoc in the brain
Image courtesy Hao HuWashU Medicine researchers have found that blocking immune cells in the body’s lymph nodes significantly reduces Alzheimer’s-like neurodegeneration in mice. Shown are a mouse brain with tissue damage typical of Alzheimer’s-like neurodegeneration (left) and a brain in which the harmful immune response was prevented (right).
