Universitätsmedizin Berlin and Universitätsklinik Freiburg succeeded in documenting how the immune system can counteract the advancement of Alzheimer's disease. Within the scope of their neuroscience paper they showed that certain scavenger cells in the immune system, so-called macrophages, play a key role in this context. Furthermore, they were able to demonstrate how special cell-signaling proteins, so-called chemokines, mediate the defense process. The results of the study have now been published in the renowned Journal of Neuroscience. Prof...
