Roughly twenty years before the first symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease appear, inflammatory changes in the brain can be seen, according to a new study. The findings of the researchers, who monitored several pathological changes in the brain, suggest that activation of astrocytes at an early stage can greatly influence the development of the disease.

Additional research is necessary now when two studies have shown evidence of people being infected after receiving certain medical procedures. Unusual Young people died and autopsy showed that they may have remnants from procedures done decades before.

Researchers at the UCLA School of Nursing, led by Professor Karen Gylys, may have just uncovered the answer. Their study, published in the January issue of the American Journal of Pathology, is the first to look at disease progression in the synapses — where brain cells transmit impulses.

Alzheimer’s disease relentlessly targets large-scale brain networks that support the formation of new memories. However, it remains a mystery as to why the disease selectively targets memory-related brain networks and how this relates to misfolded proteins seen by pathologists at autopsy. In an effort to bridge the divide between the targeted memory systems and the misfolded proteins and dying cells underneath, Mayo Clinic researchers have turned to the field of complex systems — an emerging field of science that studies how parts of systems give rise to collective behaviors and how the system interacts with its environment.

A new study conducted by researchers from the University of Southampton in England found that reducing brain inflammation could be the key to treat and prevent Alzheimer’s disease. Lead author of the study, Dr. Diego Gomez-Nicola, confirmed they have found a way “into tackling the disease” and have to move the learnings to a clinical setup as soon as possible. Contrary to the belief that Alzheimer’s caused brain inflammation, the study found that it is an overactive immune system, which inflames the brain, potentially leading to the disease.
