How the brain protects itself from Alzheimer's disease
High levels of calcium are toxic to cells and contribute to loss of neurons in Alzheimer's disease. A new study published in JCI Insight identifies a mechanism through which the young brain protects itself against high calcium levels, and it could help scientists learn how to protect the brain from this devastating neurodegenerative condition.
