A new study found that human cancers release proteins that can travel to the brain and activate microglia to help clear toxic amyloid. In animal models, treatment with these cancer-secreted proteins (CSPs) improved Alzheimer's neuropathology and learning and memory. This unexpected biology may point toward an entirely new therapeutic direction for Alzheimer’s disease—without giving anyone cancer. For the full science, limitations, and realistic brain-health strategies you can use today, watch the long-form breakdown linked above.
