The metal may play a role in forming the neuron-killing plaques associated with Alzheimer's.
There appears to be a troubling link between aluminum in the brain and the early signs of Alzheimer's Disease, according to a new study.to do with Alzheimer's, but now Keele University scientists have discovered that the metal pops up at the same places in the brain as the tangles of tau protein that appear in the early stages of the disease,.
"The presence of these tangles is associated with neuronal cell death, and observations of aluminum in these tangles may highlight a role for aluminum in their formation," lead study author Matthew BoldThat doesn't mean that you need to ban aluminum cans from your home. Aluminum, perhaps introduced through food or other exposures, is commonly found in healthy brains,
, a dementia-focused charity based in London. But as people age, their kidneys may lose the ability to filter it out of the brain — potentially leading to the Alzheimer's ties uncovered in the new study.Journal of Alzheimer's Disease editor-in-chief George Perry said in the release, "but it is the meticulously specific studies of Drs. Mold and Exley that are defining the exact molecular interaction of aluminum and other multivalent metals that may be critical to formation of the pathology of Alzheimer’s disease."
