For decades, the scientific community’s understanding of Alzheimer’s disease and related tauopathies has been dominated by the study of what happens inside the brain. Researchers have spent years examining the buildup of toxic tau proteins and amyloid plaques, viewing the brain as an isolated environment where these pathologies wreak havoc. However, a groundbreaking study published…
