Putting the Squeeze on Vascularization—A Link Between Cancer and Aβ?

RESEARCH NEWS 2010-08-27 Research News Several studies have shown that Alzheimer’s patients appear to be less susceptible to cancer, but the mechanism behind this association remains mysterious. A study in the August 25 Journal of Neuroscience may provide some clues. Researchers
