Researchers at the Max Planck Institute have shown that, in addition to neurons, special glial cells in the brain also produce amyloid beta.

This finding could open up new avenues for future therapies.

There is no cure for Alzheimer's disease, but there are therapeutic approaches to reduce the plaques.

Oligodendrocytes produce amyloid- and contribute to plaque formation alongside neurons in Alzheimer’s disease model mice.

The study was published in Nature Neuroscience , 2024 ; DOI: 10.1038 /s41593-024-01730-3.
