Amyloids May Not Cause Alzheimer’s: Quantum Effect in the Brain Challenges Conventional Wisdom

A unique quantum effect in biology may hold the key to deciphering a common indicator of Alzheimer's disease, challenging existing assumptions about the condition and guiding the quest for a cure. Amyloid fibrils are fibrous protein structures in the brain, linked to neurodegenerative disorders s

Alzheimer’s Drug Lecanemab Shields Brain from Free-Roaming Amyloid Fibrils

Amyloid beta protein forms small aggregates that disrupt brain function in Alzheimer’s disease.
Lecanemab, a recently FDA-approved Alzheimer’s treatment, can neutralize these disruptive aggregates, hinting at its potential to slow down the disease’s cognitive decline.
