Conformation-SpecificAβ Antibodies – Essential Tool for Future Alzheimer’s Research

Alzheimer’s disease is a complicated neurodegenerative condition showing symptoms that differ from patient to patient. The case for Aβ playing a vital role in disease pathology is compelling, yet its precise role remains unclear.

Want to ensure properly prepared cryo-EM samples?

As a vital step in the cryo-EM workflow, it is important to properly understand and follow the sample preparation steps. Of equal importance is possessing the right set of equipment to prepare a cryo-EM sample.

Learn more about how Thermo Fisher Scientific provides workflow assistance and the requirements that should be met before studying the sample.

Long-term antibiotic treatment slows growth of amyloid plaques in male mice but not in females

Researchers at The University of Chicago have demonstrated that the type of bacteria living in the gut can influence the development of Alzheimer's disease symptoms in mice.

	Light therapy may dramatically reduce neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease Researchers at MIT have found that light therapy can enhance synaptic function and protect against cell death in Alzheimer’s disease. The discovery follows previous research which showed that light therapy could significantly reduce amyloid plaques in mice.

	Fruit fly study shows role of unexplored neural circuit in modulating memory strength Learning to avoid negative experiences requires an interplay of two distinct brain circuits, one to interpret "Yikes!" and drive learning, and the other, unexpectedly, to dial in the strength of that memory, a new fruit fly study shows.

	Researchers map molecular structure and dynamics of one of Alzheimer's stickier culprits In a new study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers from the University of Colorado Denver and Binghamton University are the first to map the molecular structure and dynamics of an aggressive protein modification that spurs on Alzheimer's disease.

	Researchers explore link between aging fat cells and Alzheimer's Scientists want to know whether our aging fat cells are important to the onset and progression of Alzheimer's. They have evidence that as we age, our fat becomes less efficient at producing a hormone that helps support the growth and survival of neurons and helps regulate their activity.
