Immature Brain Cells Linked to Alzheimer's Resistance

Researchers at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience have identified a potential factor in cognitive resilience to Alzheimer's disease. A rare group of immature brain cells, found even in individuals over 80, appears to behave differently in those who maintain mental sharpness despite disease signs. This discovery, published in Cell Stem Cell, suggests a new mechanism for brain protection and could inform future therapeutic strategies.
