AI study explores gut metabolites' impact on Alzheimer's disease
Neuroscience News — April 22, 2024, 08:00 PM UTC
Summary: Researchers at Cleveland Clinic are using AI to study how gut microbiome metabolites interact with cellular receptors, potentially influencing Alzheimer’s disease. Their study analyzed over 1.09 million metabolite-receptor interactions, identifying protective effects of agmatine on Alzheimer’s-affected neurons. This research could lead to new therapeutic approaches for Alzheimer’s and other diseases influenced by gut microbiome interactions. The study was supported by NIH grants.
