Nanobowls are a Potential Way to Deliver Treatments for Alzheimer's Disease


Nanobowls are a Potential Way to Deliver Treatments for Alzheimer’s Disease
Written by AZoNanoMar 1 2021
Researchers still have a long path to tread before they can treat Alzheimer’s Disease, partially because the protein aggregates that can turn into brain plaques, a characteristic attribute of the disease, are challenging to analyze.

The plaques are formed due to the amyloid beta protein, the shape of which gets altered and tangled in the brain. The investigation of these protein aggregates in tissue samples often requires techniques that can disrupt them further, which makes it hard to figure out what occurs there. ....

ROCKVILLE, MD - Scientists are still a long way from being able to treat Alzheimer s Disease, in part because the protein aggregates that can become brain plaques, a hallmark of the disease, are hard to study. The plaques are caused by the amyloid beta protein, which gets misshapen and tangled in the brain. To study these protein aggregates in tissue samples, researchers often have to use techniques that can further disrupt them, making it difficult to figure out what s going on. But new research by Vrinda Sant, a graduate student, and Madhura Som, a recent PhD graduate, in the lab of Ratnesh Lal at the University of California, San Diego, provides a new technique for studying amyloid be ....
