Scientists just found the brain’s hidden defense against Alzheimer’s

Scientists at UCLA Health and UC San Francisco have discovered why certain brain cells are better equipped than others to withstand the buildup of tau, a toxic protein closely linked to Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The findings point to biological differences that may help explain why some neurons survive longer, and they could open the door to new treatment strategies.
