Alzheimer's disease is an inflammatory response to accumulating amyloid and tau, and would not occur if these materials were cleared before triggering inflammation.

“Same for Alzheimer's. Ultimately, Alzheimer's has an inflammatory response because the stuff it's reacting to, it's amyloid and tau and so on. If we can get rid of those materials, stop them from accumulating to an inflammation-triggering level, then we won't get an inflammatory response even in people with a strong inflammatory genetic profile.”
