The human brain has its own cleaning system. Every day, waste products and damaged proteins are removed to keep brain cells healthy and functioning properly. When this cleaning system breaks down, harmful materials can accumulate and damage the brain. Scientists believe this failure may play an important role in Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s disease is the […]
