The research, published in Nature Neuroscience, shows that Alzheimer’s disrupts the process by which stem cells in the bone marrow produce monocytes, a type of immune cell essential for fighting the disease. In both mice and human patients, this disruption leads to impaired immune responses and worsened symptoms.
