The spread of #AlzheimersDisease has often been described using terms like 'chain reaction'. But a new study from Cambridge Chemistry has found that it spreads very differently – a result that could affect how future treatments are developed: bit.ly/3mo7ePC #Dementia

Study suggests new approaches may be needed for treating later stages of Alzheimer’s - tau accumulation driven by local replication rather than spreading between brain regions Superb new article from Prof Sir David Klenerman (UK DRI at Cambridge) 👉 bit.ly/3Btf92G

How can we understand neurodegeneration and its potential cures in the context of the biophysics of protein aggregation? I provide a new perspective on this question by framing systems as a battle of aggregation and removal in Biophysics Reviews doi.org/10.1063/5.0180….

New paper from Catherine Xu KnowlesLab Cambridge & collaborators reports secondary nucleation as not only the key source of a-synuclein oligomers, "but also the main mechanism of aggregate formation"; The process can occur under neutral pH & ionic strength nature.com/articles/s4146…
