Study solves mystery of how amyloid beta forms in brain nerve cells

MASSACHUSETTS GENERAL HOSPITAL BOSTON – In a major breakthrough, researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) have discovered how amyloid beta–the neurotoxin believed to be at the root of Alzheimer’s disease (AD)–forms in axons and related structures that connect neurons in the brain, where it causes the most damage. Their findings, published in Cell Reports, could serve as a...
