Scientists have identified a small flaw in the enzyme GPX4 that prevents neurons from defending themselves. This mutation, found in children with a rare form of early dementia, disrupts a tiny loop the enzyme uses to protect cell membranes. Lab and animal studies confirmed widespread neuron loss when GPX4 fails. The results suggest a deeper […]
