Imagine your immune system as a team of superheroes fighting off invading villains. Now, picture those villains infiltrating not just your body, but also your brain. This is what happens in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Recent research has been focusing on the connection between the peripheral immune system, which defends the rest of your body, and these debilitating conditions. Scientists are discovering that immune cells can cross the blood-brain barrier and enter into the brain, where they interact with neurons and contribute to disease progression. By understanding how the immune system interacts with the brain, we may unlock new possibilities for developing treatments and therapies that target these diseases more effectively. Dig deeper into this fascinating research to uncover how our immune response plays a role in neurodegeneration.
