SciTechDaily reports on a study that explains how engineers at the UC San Diego say they’ve found that certain brain cells age faster than others. The researchers say these brain cells are more common in people with Alzheimer’s disease. They also noted differences in the aging of specific brain cells between sexes; the female cortex shows a greater proportion of “old” oligodendrocytes relative to “old” neurons compared to the male cortex. https://lnkd.in/e2_8pDmG #research #AlzheimersDisease #braincells #aging

At its core, #alzheimersdisease is an oligodendrocytopathy. Thus, it is not surprising "aging" oligodendrocytes are being implicated in the higher prevalence of neurodegenerative disorders in women (e.g., #alzheimers). https://www.linkedin.com/posts/chrisbarryoligoexpert_new-technique-reveals-rapid-aging-in-alzheimers-activity-7196640540275208193-5CIi?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop C2N Diagnostics T(Venky) V.

Important human-relevant, because non-animal, fundamental research. Keep it coming!
