Exciting news! Franco Cavaleri’s latest research challenges the long-held belief that amyloid plaques in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are purely harmful. Instead, his manuscript "Reevaluating the Role of Amyloid β‐Peptides in Alzheimer's Disease" presents a game-changing idea: these plaques may actually serve as a protective mechanism against heavy metal toxicity in the brain!
Rather than being the main villains in Alzheimer’s, amyloid β-peptides and β-secretase (BACE1) could be the brain’s natural defense system, helping to manage metal buildup and oxidative stress—key drivers of neurodegeneration. This fresh perspective opens new doors in the fight against AD and calls for a rethink of how we approach treatment and prevention.
Stay tuned as this Alzheimer's research evolves—this could be the shift we need in understanding and tackling Alzheimer’s! #AlzheimersResearch #Neuroscience #FrancoCavaleri #BrainHealth #Biohacking #Longevity
