Summary
Alzheimer's disease senile plaques may originate from degenerated capillaries and amyloid fibrils. This study examined post mortem cerebral cortex tissue, revealing plaque cores composed of vascular and neural debris.
Area of Science:
- Neuropathology
- Vascular Biology
- Alzheimer's Disease Research
Background:
- Alzheimer's disease is characterized by senile plaques in the brain.
- The precise origin and composition of senile plaques are not fully understood.
