Harnessing immune cells in the brain to ward off Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative diseases

Many neurodegenerative diseases, or conditions resulting from the loss of function or death of brain cells, remain largely incurable. Most available treatments target only one of the multiple processes that can lead to neurodegeneration, which may not be effective in treating symptoms or disease progression completely, if at all. But what if researchers harnessed the …
