Description

Researchers who study Alzheimer’s are looking at the way the disease changes the brain from every possible angle. You’ve probably heard about amyloid plaques and neural tangles, but there is another field of study that looks closely at the way brain cells metabolize small molecules such as lipids and amino acids. This study of Metabolomics reveals that patients with Alzheimer’s Disease often exhibit dysfunction of these processes in the brain. Our guest today is working to narrow down what this might mean, and how it might help to better diagnose, predict, and prevent the progression of Alzheimer’s.
