Alzheimer's protein rouses cell-suicide enzyme

Abstract: Like a mob boss ordering a hit, a protein that mars the brains of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients gets others to do its dirty work. The protein slays brain cells by activating a molecule that goads cells to kill themselves, according to new work. The findings add to evidence that the problem in AD arises within cells rather than outside of them.
