Brain’s Extracellular Matrix Emerges as a New Alzheimer’s Clue in Estrogen Study
Researchers at Northwestern Medicine say the extracellular matrix in the hippocampus may become vulnerable as estrogen falls with age, offering a new angle on why women face higher Alzheimer’s risk.
Key Takeaways
- Researchers linked estrogen loss to changes in the brain’s extracellular matrix.
- The hippocampus appeared especially affected in older female mice.
