Scientists in the UK and Belgium think they have figured out how brain cells die in Alzheimer's disease.

They connect abnormal proteins that build up in the brain with "necroptosis" - a form of cellular suicide.

The findings have been described as "cool" and "exciting", as they give new ideas for treating the disease.
