Eric Topol(@EricTopol):There were recent landmark papers on how blood monocytes replace the microglia in the brain and promote inflammation, increasing risk of Alzheimer’s (AD) https://t.co/47Kik56Zdv Today, this has been reinforced @NatureNeuro by the discovery of dysfunctional bone marrow blood cell production and its effect on the brain "The present study supports the emerging understanding that AD is not solely a brain disease; especially at later stages, it also encompasses a dysfunction of the peripheral immune system."
