Pinning Down Alzheimer Clue
US researchers have used a powerful spectroscopic technique to demonstrate that an enzyme previously shown to protect brain cells from the characteristic fibrous tangles associated with Alzheimer’s disease also helps inhibit formation of the amyloid peptide plaques (APPs) seen in this disease. The team examined the relationship between APPs and the enzyme prolyl isomerase, Pin1.
