A new study reveals that a genetic mutation linked to Alzheimer’s disease impacts exosome production and quality. The defective SORLA protein causes brain cells to create fewer exosomes, and these exosomes are less effective in supporting nearby brain cells. This impairment in exosome function is identified as a potential key factor in the progression of Alzheimer’s. The findings suggest that future Alzheimer’s treatments could focus on improving or restoring the role of exosomes in brain cell communication and support.
