What is Alzheimer’s Disease? Alzheimer’s disease is usually triggered due to the overproduction of amyloid peptides. NFTs (Neurofibrillary tangles usually present within cells), cells that start gathering in the form of plaques known as amyloid plaques and groups of highly soluble proteins called tau proteins (created outside of the cells). Collectively results in loss of…

Alzheimer’s disease is a degenerative brain disorder that is caused by an unusual build-up of proteins in the brain. This damages the brain cells, causing neurons to lose function, and results in shrinking of the brain due to cell death.  The two proteins responsible for this abnormal accumulation are;  Amyloid proteins Tau proteins. Amyloid proteins…
