How does alzheimer's disease interrupt the cell cycle? how do these interruptions lead to progression?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
CURRENT THINKING: We do not know enough, but do believe that soluble amyloid oligomers are toxic to nerve-nerve synaptic connections and the tangles that form inside the neuron destroy the inner cellular workings. This is a progressive steady process that affects chemical neurotransmitter function with progressive loss of cognitive function.
