Alzheimer’s Protein: Baby Brains’ Secret Weapon?

Turns out, a protein we’ve always blamed for Alzheimer’s might actually be a brain-building hero in newborns! Scientists just found sky-high levels of p-tau217 (yep, the same one linked to dementia) in healthy babies—way higher than in Alzheimer’s patients. Instead of being toxic, it looks like this protein helps wire up infant brains. Now researchers are wondering: what changes as we age that turns this helper into a villain? If we crack that code, it could totally change how we treat Alzheimer’s! #Health #BodyHealth #Alzheimers
