First Detailed Images of Alzheimer's Structures Unveiled
TL;DR
Scientists at the University of Leeds have mapped the molecular structures of β-amyloid and tau proteins in an Alzheimer's patient's brain using cryo-electron tomography, revealing how these proteins disrupt brain functions. This breakthrough, published in Nature, could lead to new therapeutic approaches for neurological diseases.
