A hidden Alzheimer’s tipping point may decide who gets dementia

Scientists have discovered a potential tipping point that determines whether Alzheimer's-related brain changes progress to dementia. The tipping point is linked to the brain's immune cells and their response to plaques and tau. Researchers believe that targeting this response could lead to new treatments that help extend cognitive resilience. This breakthrough offers a promising avenue for developing therapies to prevent or delay dementia.
