LAWRENCE, Kansas, March 1 (TNSres) -- The University of Kansas issued the following news:
A University of Kansas study of rare gene mutations that cause hereditary Alzheimer's disease shows these mutations disrupt production of a small sticky protein called amyloid.
Plaques composed of amyloid are notoriously found in the brain in Alzheimer's disease and have long been considered responsible for the inexorable loss of neurons and cognitive decline. Using a model species . . .
