Description
Bhakta Prasad Gaire and co-authors present a 2025 study of a lung germ in the eyes and brains of people with Alzheimer disease. Germs have been found in patient brains before, but their role in the eye was little known. The eye shares much disease process with the brain, so the team checked both.
They tested tissue from people with mild loss, patients, and healthy peers. The germ was found in patient eyes and matched levels in the paired brains. Patient tissue held about three times the germ load of healthy tissue. Live germs could be grown from patient eye samples. Germ load tracked with amyloid in the eye and with immune alarm firing. The authors propose germ focused care as a path to test.
