NewsMirrored molecules target disordered proteins in Alzheimer’s disease
Researchers at Kobe University have developed a novel approach to Alzheimer’s disease treatment by engineering right-handed amino acid chains that bind to amyloid-beta proteins. The method, inspired by materials science principles of chirality, demonstrated effective inhibition of toxic protein aggregation in mouse brain cell cultures, maintaining cell viability where amyloid-beta alone reduced it by 50 percent.
