The immune system is a comprehensive defense system Our immune systems protect us from disease and are vital to the healthy function of every organ and...

According to a new study, Alzheimer’s disease is connected to inflammaging, which causes B-cells to change their phenotype and hamper amyloid-β (Aβ) removal [1]. Following successful experiments in vivo, the scientists propose B cell depletion as a possible therapy. The darker side of B cells    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is deadly, frustratingly resilient to treatment, and...
