D-serine’s Impact on Alzheimer’s Disease Revealed in Mouse Study

Imagine the brain as a complex road system, with different regions representing different neighborhoods. In this study, scientists investigated the role of D-serine, a molecule that acts like a co-pilot, in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Just like a helpful co-pilot can guide you through rough roads, D-serine plays a role in excitotoxicity, a process linked to […]
