New Membrane Model May Unlock Secrets of Early-Stage Alzheimer's

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology and three collaborating institutions are using a new laboratory model of the membrane surrounding neurons in the brain to study how a protein long suspected of a role in early-stage Alzheimer`s disease actually impairs a neuron`s structure and function. The team`s findings are reported in a new paper in the Biophysical Journal.
