The understanding of Alzheimer's has evolved significantly, with recent advancements revealing that amyloid plaques may not be the primary culprit but rather a bystander in the disease's progression. As researchers delve deeper, they are questioning what truly causes the accumulation of these plaques in the brain, especially in light of the high failure rate of drug trials aimed at treating the condition. This shift in perspective opens the door to new possibilities for prevention and treatment.
