A breakdown of lipid metabolism in these brain cells promotes inflammation and interferes with neuron activity, a new study finds.

Two types of tau proteins mix together in a nearly random way to generate the tangles seen in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients.

The findings may help explain why some people who lead enriching lives are less prone to Alzheimer’s and age-related dementia.
