by University of Bristol Potassium isotope compositions of minipig brain regions indicate heavy K isotope enrichment coincident with amyloid beta accumulation, suggesting a mechanistic linkage and potential for downstream signal transferal to blood serum (i.e. noninvasive diagnostic potential). Credit: Metallomics (2022). DOI: 10.1093/mtomcs/mfac090 New research from a James Cook University-led study has proposed a hypothesis that higher levels of...

Study says failure to rid amyloid beta protein from brain may lead to Alzheimer’s disease
by Michael E. Newman, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Photomicrograph showing amyloid beta-protein (brown from staining) in tissue taken from a human brain. Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers have shown that the glymphatic system — the vascular network that removes waste from the central nervous system — helps clear amyloid beta from the brain and that...
