Protein Disrupts Aβ–Prion Tryst, Blocks Aβ Toxicity

RESEARCH NEWS 2013-10-23 Research News Recent research suggests that the toxicity of Aβ oligomers stems from interactions with the cellular prion protein (see ARF related news story). Now, scientists led by Marco Prado, University of Western Ontario, report that a third party bre

Speed of Biomarker Changes Herald Alzheimer’s Disease

RESEARCH NEWS 2013-10-23 Research News In life, where people end up often tells less than how they got there. Could the same be true for biomarkers? While cross-sectional studies have established that cerebrospinal fluid levels of tau and Aβ42 are abnormal years before a diagnosi
