Is Alzheimer's an energy crisis in the brain? Inflammation, metabolism and a new path in the search for cures | Kati Andreasson
Q: How does aging affect macrophages and microglia's ability to function in the brain?
Aging leads to a decline in energy metabolism in these cells, impairing their ability to clear waste and defend against infections, which exacerbates amyloid buildup and inflammation.
