There have always been many questions and concerns about Alzheimer’s disease, but its roots may go back much further than we think.
Researchers from the Institute of Cytology and Genetics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences conducted a study showing that the prerequisites for Alzheimer’s disease may appear before a person is born.
They examined the brains of newborn rats and found that at critical points in brain development, between the third and tenth days after birth, changes occur in genes and brain function that have been linked to the development of Alzheimer’s disease. These changes indicate inadequate functionality of certain brain cells and a delay in the formation of blood vessels.
This research opens a new path to understanding this terrible disease and may lead to the development of more effective treatments and prevention of Alzheimer’s disease.
