Stopping Cellular Stress May Be Key in Treating Early-Onset Dementia: Study

“We realized that even though there was this correlation, there was no clear causative link between a protein aggregate and the neuronal deaths,” lead researcher Michael Rapé, professor and head of the Division of Molecular Therapeutics at UC Berkeley, told The Epoch Times.
When investigating how these cells die, researchers found that the body’s failure to shut down the nerve cells’ stress response was the lethal factor killing the brain cells.
