Because of striking similarities between the fat molecules that make up both the membranes of bacteria and the membranes of brain cells, beta-amyloid cannot tell the difference between invading bacteria and host brain cells, and mistakenly attacks the very brain cells it is supposed to be protecting.
Inflammation drives beta-amyloid and tau production and deposition. Those beta-amyloid and tau entanglements then cause further inflammation. The inflammatory cytokines increase microglia and astrocytes which become very aggressive. Their job is to kill cells and they'll kill neurons and the myelin sheath. Cut the inflammation and you clear tau and beta-amyloid entanglements, decrease active microglia and astrocytes and strengthen the blood brain barrier as shown by maraviroc.
