Scientists found a surprising driver of Alzheimer’s outside the brain

Immune cells that usually defend the body by attacking infected or foreign cells appear in unusually high numbers in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s disease and related conditions. Evidence suggests these cells contribute to neurodegeneration, but researchers have not known where they originate or what prompts them to gather…
