Summary: Researchers have identified genetic variations in brain cells, particularly microglia and oligodendrocytes, that influence both aging and Alzheimer’s risk. These variations impact how cells function as they age, potentially priming some individuals for dementia. The findings suggest two sequential processes: genetic factors influence aging, which may predispose individuals to Alzheimer’s. Human-specific genetic links to […]
