Brain Iron May Predict Progression in Alzheimer's
Iron in the brain is an "underappreciated driver of disease progression" in AD, study author Ashley I. Bush, MBBS, PhD, senior principal research fellow, Florey Institute of Neuroscience & Mental Health, University of Melbourne, Australia, told Medscape Medical News.
"Measuring brain iron could be used to predict disease progression, and lowering brain iron levels might present as a novel therapeutic target to slow the disease process."
Their findings were described in a letter published in the January issue of JAMA Neurology.
