In this issue of the Journal of Experimental Medicine, Cao et al. (https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20240386) demonstrate that the connection between the eye and the brain goes beyond the impulses carried by the optic nerve and that in Alzheimer's disease (AD), the influx of toxic Aβ from the brain to the retina underlies AD-induced retinal degeneration.
在本期《实验医学杂志》中,曹等人(https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20240386)表明,眼睛和大脑之间的联系不仅仅局限于视神经传递的冲动,而且在阿尔茨海默病(AD)中,AD 诱导的视网膜变性的基础是大脑中有毒的 Aβ 向视网膜的流入。
