Could your evening glass of wine be accelerating Alzheimer’s? What shocking new study says about alcohol use disorder

Hindustan Times  

A recent study from Scripps Research has unveiled an intriguing connection between Alzheimer’s disease and alcohol use disorder, shedding light on how excessive drinking might speed up the progression of this devastating neurodegenerative condition. But, this new study digs deeper into the biological mechanisms, suggesting that alcohol use disorder and Alzheimer’s disease may share similar molecular disruptions. The goal was to identify overlapping genetic pathways that could explain commonalities between the two conditions, and they discovered - Inflammation and Immune Response: Both Alzheimer’s disease and alcohol use disorder showed heightened activity in inflammatory genes, particularly in microglia and vascular cells. Both Alzheimer’s disease and alcohol use disorder showed heightened activity in inflammatory genes, particularly in microglia and vascular cells.
