Protein build-up may trigger inflammation associated with Alzheimer's and other conditions

A recent review article published online in The FASEB Journal points to the “trigger” for the inflammatory response, caused by the immune system, that precedes Alzheimer’s disease and other neurological conditions. Specifically, the authors show that an increase in aggregated, damaged proteins within neurons, which is a normal part of the aging brain, sets off these inflammatory responses. This observation was published online in The FASEB Journal.
