Human-cell study links inherited Alzheimer’s mutations to nerve-muscle disruption
Key Takeaways
- Researchers used human-cell laboratory systems to study inherited Alzheimer’s mutations.
- The mutations disrupted nerve-to-muscle connections without brain or spinal-cord involvement in the model.
- The result may help explain early changes in balance, gait and coordination in some patients.
- More research is needed before movement changes can be used as an Alzheimer’s indicator.
