Protein linked to Alzheimer’s disease found in young adults
Clumps of abnormal amyloid protein, often linked to Alzheimer’s disease, have been identified in the brains of men and women as young as 20, a new study shows. Amyloid is known to accumulate and surround brain cells in seniors and those with Alzheimer’s. It’s impossible to know whether the study participants, or anyone else with amyloid in the brain, would eventually progress to Alzheimer’s, but the findings may offer clues about the onset of the disease and opportunities for early intervention.
