The age-related dysfunction of the brain is a deep, complicated, and incompletely understood field of study. Even if aging is driven by relatively simple processes of damage, the brain is a very complex organ, and thus the outcome of even simple dysfunctions will be a very complex web of further interacting consequences. Thus there are any number of papers similar to the one noted here, in which researchers focus on one specific protein and what is known of its interactions in the brain. As a rule, discoveries regarding disease-specific mechanisms are usually broadly true, but it is rarely clear (or even easily understood) as to how much these mechanisms contribute to the overall burden of pathology, whether they are in fact useful targets to pursue for the development of therapies, or just minor components of the disease as a whole.
