Does An Immune Role for Beta- Amyloid Create a Therapeutic Dilemma for SENS?
Some scientists have reported that viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens may help drive Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases, and that the body uses beta-amyloid protein to fight them off. That seems to imply that it’s a bad idea to remove Abeta from the brain. Here we explain how the SENS “damage-repair” strategy leaps over that therapeutic dilemma — just as it does with other kinds of aging damage.
