Researchers have developed a microscopy technique to visualize amyloid beta’s underlying structure, which could yield new insights into Alzheimer’s disease. As the prevalence of Alzheimer’s rises, ...

A team of researchers at Washington University in St. Louis in the Preston M. Green Department of Electrical and Systems Engineering, researchers have leveraged microscopy techniques to shed light on ...

Amyloid-beta (A-beta) aggregates are tangles of proteins most notably associated with neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. Despite its constant stint in the limelight, however, researchers ...

Accumulation of amyloid-beta (A-beta) peptides inhibiting normal brain function is a characteristic aspect of neurodegenerative disease, but how A-beta comes together and breaks apart as it does the ...

Amyloid beta is a peptide that plays a central role in the neurodegenerative pathology of Alzheimer’s disease by aggregating into plaques in the brain. U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved ...

Electron spin on magnetized surfaces affects how amyloid proteins form fibrils, revealing a new physical factor that could help control Alzheimer's-related aggregation. (Nanowerk News) A new study has ...

Electron microscopy is a powerful technique that provides high-resolution images by focusing a beam of electrons to reveal fine structural details in biological and material specimens. 2 Because ...
