Power of Light and Oxygen Eliminates Alzheimer’s Disease Protein in Brains of Live Mice
Amyloid plaques are aggregates of misfolded proteins that form in the spaces between nerve cells. Credit: Juan GaertnerNew photo-oxygenation catalyst targets amyloid structure, enlists brain immune system cells.A small, light-activated molecule lately evaluated in mice corresponds to a brand-new strategy to eliminating clumps of amyloid protein located in the brains of Alzheimer's disease patients....
