Astrocyte-Driven Reversal of Alzheimer’s Cognitive Decline: Mouse Study Sparks Hope
Groundbreaking Astrocyte Findings Point to a Natural Brain Cleanup Mechanism A recent study from Baylor College of Medicine highlights a promising, naturally occurring brain process that helps clear amyloid plaques and maintain cognitive function in mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease. The research focuses on astrocytes, star-shaped support cells in the brain, and how they can…

Astrocyte-Driven Therapy Shows Promise for Reversing Cognitive Decline in Alzheimer’s
New Astrocyte-Driven Mechanism Clears Amyloid Plaques and Preserves Cognition Scientists at Baylor College of Medicine have identified a natural, brain-immune process that can clear amyloid plaques and protect cognitive function in mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease. By harnessing the activity of astrocytes, a type of glial cell that supports and modulates neurons, researchers demonstrated a…

Astrocyte-Driven Approach Shows Promise in Reversing Cognitive Decline in Alzheimer’s
New Insights into Alzheimer’s: Astrocytes as Key Players In a compelling advance from Baylor College of Medicine, researchers have identified an astrocyte-driven mechanism that not only clears existing amyloid plaques in mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease but also preserves cognitive function. The study highlights a natural, brain-intrinsic process that can potentially counteract one of the…
