Catching calcium waves could provide Alzheimer’s insights (Science Daily)
Sunday, February 14th, 2010New insights on what causes Alzheimer’s disease could arise from a recent discovery made by bioengineers. The finding concerns the infamous amyloid beta peptides (A²) — fragments of which form plaques thought to play a role in Alzheimer’s disease. The bioengineers found that amyloid beta peptides spontaneously trigger calcium waves ... continue reading
