Gold nanoclusters could help break down Alzheimer's amyloid plaques
Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative brain disorder characterized by progressive memory loss and a decline in other mental functions. Past studies have consistently linked this disorder to the accumulation of the protein amyloid-β (Aβ) between brain cells, ultimately resulting in the formation of so-called amyloid plaques.
We haven't written up this one. Phys.org has the full story — the link below goes straight to it.
