Katrin Andreasson

In this insightful discussion, Katrin Andreasson, a Stanford physician-scientist specializing in brain inflammation and metabolism, unveils a groundbreaking perspective on Alzheimer's disease. She argues that aging triggers an energy crisis in brain immune cells like microglia, which may contribute significantly to Alzheimer's pathology. Her research suggests that targeting inflammation beyond the brain can restore memory in mouse models. With a focus on new therapeutic strategies and the importance of curiosity-driven science, Andreasson offers fresh hope for Alzheimer’s treatment.
