Core Tip

Core Tip: Significant advances have been made in characterizing the relationship between Alzheimer's disease (AD) and micronutrients copper, zinc, iron, selenium, silicon, manganese, and arsenic. This study provides a new perspective and direction for future scientific research, development of new drugs, and routine preventive measures against AD.
