Alzheimer’s Hits More Than Just the Brain

Turns out, Alzheimer’s isn’t just messing with memory—it’s messing with the whole body! New research using fruit flies shows that those infamous Alzheimer’s proteins (Aβ42 and Tau) don’t just wreck neurons. Aβ42 mainly damages sensory neurons (like smell), but Tau goes wild on metabolism, digestion, and even fertility. Basically, Alzheimer’s throws the whole system out of whack, not just the brain. Scientists even built a Fly Cell Atlas to track all these changes. Wild, right? #Alzheimers #BrainHealth #ScienceNews #Neuroscience #Health
