Ageing-associated myelin dysfunction drives amyloid deposition in mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease
2021-08-02
Abstract excerpt
The prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the leading cause of dementia, shows a strict age-dependency, but why ageing constitutes the main risk factor for this disease is still poorly understood. Brain ageing affects oligodendrocytes 1 and the structural integrity of myelin sheaths 2 , the latter associated with secondary neuroinflammation 3 . Since oligodendrocytes support axonal and neuronal health 4–7 ,...
