Pint of Science: Discovering dementia: Carbon monoxide – the dose makes the poison
The symptoms and effects of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s arise from the damage of cells known as neurons that facilitate normal brain function. We will explore how molecules like carbon monoxide, which are generated in the body, can be either toxic or protective to these cells.
