ALZSTREAM™ WEBINAR: How Leaky Brains Can Lead to Alzheimer's

ALZSTREAM™ WEBINAR: How Leaky Brains Can Lead to Alzheimer's

Join us today, Wednesday, Sep. 9 to hear University of Southern California neuroscientist Berislav Zlokovic, M.D., Ph.D. talk about his work on the blood-brain barrier and how it becomes more porous with age, which can lead to Alzheimer’s disease.    “The brain cannot function in the presence of blood-brain barrier breakdown,” explains Zlokovic. “Now we know that not only is Abeta important in Alzheimer’s, but also that this barrier, which is regulating transfer of molecules between the brain and blood, and vice versa blood and brain, can become leaky and dysfunctional and lead to subsequent problems likely contributing to onset and progression of dementia.”    No registration is required—simply visit curealz.org/webinar a few minutes before 1 p.m. to join. We'll answer questions from the audience towards the end of the program.
