Brain tissue removed during surgery has revealed a potential way to curb inflammation linked to Alzheimer's disease, Medical Xpress reports.

The finding came from clinical analysis of samples collected from patients during recent operations, the article says.

Medical experts explain that chronic brain inflammation speeds up cognitive decline in Alzheimer's patients.

Clinical teams analyzed cell samples to map the inflammatory pathways involved.

The results highlight specific cellular mechanisms that drive disease progression, according to the article.

The article says studying human tissue offers better accuracy than relying on animal models.

Labs can now test experimental compounds directly on the relevant pathways, which researchers hope speeds drug development.

Further studies will determine whether these pathways can be safely adjusted in living patients.
