Dr. Betty Murray argues Alzheimer's isn't just a brain disease. The gut and other body-wide factors drive disease onset. She frames this as systemic biology, the next revolution in how we research and treat the condition.
Alzheimer's wasn't just a disease of the brain, you know, because everyone is looking for the way to think about Alzheimer's, and it's a disease of the brain, and we got these tau, we got these plaques. And what I'm realizing, and what we realize at PHBio, is that I would say the next medical revolution, as we say, is here now. And I think that that medical revolution is based on systemic biology, right? Systemic biology, because Alzheimer's isn't just a disease of the brain. There's lots of different things that are influencing the onset of disease or increasing your risk of disease.
