Currently, there is increasing evidence that the immune system is involved in the development of Alzheimer’s disease, although still remains nevyaysnennym how. This is the conclusion reached by researchers from the School of Medicine at Duke University in the United States.
For the past few decades, scientists around the world are trying to find a cure for Alzheimer’s disease, which is accompanied by a gradual fading of memory and cognitive abilities and is the second called “senile dementia”. They will help to stop the devastating process of memory loss is believed to US researchers. Micrology cells normally protect the brain begin to absorb him for an amino acid called arginine. The work of immune cells in Alzheimer’s disease is contrary to their original purpose: instead of a protective function in the body, they begin to work properly, producing a molecule that lowers the immune response and favors the development of this terrible incurable disease. However, drugs that block the action of molecules already checked for cancer patients. The researchers say that they can now prevent this process.
Scientists have suggested that their findings not only suggest new potential cause of Alzheimer’s disease, but also on new goals when creating innovative treatments for this disease. Experts believe that this study – the discovery of new opportunities in the prevention and effective treatment of dementia.
