A study published in Nature Immunology elucidates the role of fibrin, a blood protein, in contributing to neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease. This research focuses on how fibrin influences microglia, the brain’s primary immune cells, which are essential in maintaining neuronal health.

However, the presence of fibrin can induce a transformation in these cells, causing them to act destructively towards neurons.
