Summary:
- This article discusses research from the Buck Institute that links gut immune activity to the development of Alzheimer's disease.
- The study found that certain immune cells in the gut, called gamma delta T cells, can travel to the brain and contribute to the inflammation and neurodegeneration associated with Alzheimer's.
- By understanding this gut-brain connection, the researchers hope to develop new therapies that target the gut immune system as a way to prevent or treat Alzheimer's disease.
