Alzheimer's Glia

Alzheimer's disease (“Alzheimer's disease”) is one of the most severe diseases of the central nervous system. It consists of degenerative processes and is quite widespread. Causes of the disease include genetic factors, age-related changes and environmental factors. This disease manifests itself as damage to brain tissue, including the formation of so-called “plaques.” It is these plaques, consisting of cholesterol, amyloid, neurofilaments and tritzin (a protein produced by glia), that lead to memory impairment and cognitive impairment. Glia are cells that are found between nerve cells and perform various functions. In Alzheimer's disease, glia begin to produce tritin, a protein that destroys neurons, leading to progressive degeneration of nervous tissue. The danger of the disease is that it develops over time, and leads first to a decrease in memory, and then to its complete loss. Moreover, the pace of development is slowing down. This is explained by the fact that glia adapt to constant processes leading to the destruction of nerve cells, slowing down but not stopping their degeneration. This makes it impossible to immediately stop the progression of dementia.
