Researchers have sussed out the biological workings of immune cell mutations previously associated with Alzheimer's disease.
immune cells. These cells identify and devour invaders or other cells that have gone wrong in our brains.
Microglia with mutations of PLCG2 appear to respond differently to the amyloid plaques, the researchers observed. They change the immune cell's ability to alter and compact the plaques.

Researchers discover tissue-specific protection against protein aggregationResearchers have identified a backup mechanism of protein quality control which prevents the toxic effects of protein aggregation in specific tissues when normal methods of molecular monitoring fail. By understanding how different tissues tackle protein build up, this research could accelerate the identification of ways to protect tissues that are vulnerable to protein build up, possibly tackling both disease-associated protein aggregates and also age-dependent aggregates that accelerate the functional decline of tissues.
