“This, in fact, is direct evidence supporting the model of amyloids as waterfilled nanotubes.”
“That approach could theoretically be used to treat conditions like Alzheimer's: the beta amyloids that accumulate in the brain are thought to weaken synaptic connections, and, in so doing, inactivate certain memories.”
“Anat Frydman-Marom and Carsten Sachse looked at protein fragments known as beta amyloids, which are regarded as the primary cause of Alzheimer's disease.”
