          Iron Buildup Triggers Cell Death in Alzheimer’s

          Researchers identified a new form of cell death, termed ferroptosis, in Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia. This process involves the destruction of microglia cells—brain immune cells—due to the accumulation of iron.

          The Early Death of Nerve Cells Is Crucial to Form Healthy Brains

          Apoptosis plays a critical role in brain development as it influences the thickness of layers in the cerebral cortex, variety, and layer cell density. Alterations in how cells perform division and apoptosis lead to the development of abnormal cortical structures as seen in a variety of neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism.
