New Research Overturns Decades of Thinking on Fat’s Role in Alzheimer’s

Excess fat in brain immune cells weakens defenses against Alzheimer’s. Blocking fat storage restored their ability to fight disease. For many years, scientists believed that fat in the brain had little connection to neurodegenerative diseases. Purdue University researchers are now challenging that view. Their study, published in Immunity, demonstrates that an accumulation of fat in [...]
