An international research team has created a better understanding of Alzheimer’s. They have shown that the cleaning system of the brain cells, the so-called mitophagy, is very weakened in animals and humans with Alzheimer’s. And when they improve the cleaning system in the animals, the Alzheimer’s symptoms almost disappear.
