A surprising link between Alzheimer’s and cancer reveals that amyloid beta, a harmful protein in the brain, actually empowers the immune system. It strengthens T-cells’ energy production, helping them fight cancer more effectively. By restoring fumarate levels or transplanting healthy mitochondria, researchers may be able to rejuvenate aging immune cells. These findings could inspire a new generation of treatments that target both cancer and age-related decline.
