Amyloid-Beta And Alzheimer's Disease -
Amyloid-Beta And Alzheimer's Disease - -Amyloid beta is a protein fragment that's been shown to play an important role in Alzheimer’s disease.
The Amyloid beta-protein is a major component of the plaques that form in many people with Alzheimer's disease. As these proteins clump together, they start to interfere and destroy neurons so research involving this protein has been intense; however, it seems as though there are more questions than answers when it comes to how amyloids cause neurodegeneration.
Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia. In 2021, Alzheimer's and other dementias will cost the nation $355 billion. By 2050, these costs could rise as high as $1.1 trillion. - according to alheimer.org
If you’re like most people, you believe that amyloid plaques are the cause of Alzheimer’s disease. The amyloid hypothesis is the leading theory for explaining Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and it has been used to develop many drugs that have failed.
The amyloid hypothesis, which states that plaques are causing cognitive impairment, has been the dominant theory for decades. Many scientists have spent their entire careers studying this theory and trying to prove it true. But now there is a growing group of scientists who question if this theory is correct or not.
They found that while plaques do accumulate in the brains of people living with dementia, they aren't actually responsible for cognitive decline.
