> Here, the researchers show that the Ab-like peptides also can be generated from a different source – C. albicans. This common fungus, which has been detected in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s disease and other chronic neurodegenerative disorders, has its own set of proteases that can generate the same Ab-like peptides the brain can generate endogenously. I love hearing the "what", but would also appreciate some speculation on the "why". Does this fungus somehow thrive better because of some underlying issue? Is some natural process that usually would clean up these Ab-like peptides being suppressed?
