Hidden microglia switch helps protect the brain from Alzheimer’s

Scientists discovered that lowering a specific molecule helps microglia switch into a protective state that quiets brain inflammation in Alzheimer’s.

This pathway may help explain why some people naturally have reduced Alzheimer’s risk.
