New research out of the University of Pennsylvania suggests that Alzheimer’s disease is linked to specific chromatin shifts in the aging brain. PARC’s John Trojanowski and colleagues found evidence that in AD brains cellular responses to stress and DNA damage are dysregulated by a change in a histone protein. The authors say their findings “point to a new model of Alzheimer’s disease” and open the possibility that “prevention of age-dysregulation at the chromatin level may be a therapeutic avenue for AD.”
