Boosting enzyme in brain immune cells could help treat Alzheimer’s disease

In a preclinical study, Cedars-Sinai investigators found that boosting angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) in key immune cells called microglia in the brain helped protect the brains of specially bred laboratory mice against Alzheimer’s disease. Their findings, published in Nature Aging, could lead to cellular therapies to help treat the disease in humans.
