Summary:
A notorious Alzheimers disease villain may also be a germ-busting superhero. Amyloid-beta gums up the brains of people with Alzheimers but also takes out brain invaders, scientists report. As strong as steel, tough strands of A-beta protein imprison pathogens that threaten the body and brain, experiments in mice and worms show. Those results raise the possibility that A-beta plays a role in the immune system and its accumulation in Alzheimers might be prompted by infection.
"Alzheimer's Culprit May Fight Germs" is from the June 25, 2016 issue of Science News.
