Nanobowls are a Potential Way to Deliver Treatments for Alzheimer s Disease

Nanobowls are a Potential Way to Deliver Treatments for Alzheimer’s Disease Written by AZoNanoMar 1 2021 Researchers still have a long path to tread before they can treat Alzheimer’s Disease, partially because the protein aggregates that can turn into brain plaques, a characteristic attribute of the disease, are challenging to analyze.   The amyloid beta protein that tangles to form the hallmark Alzheimer’s brain plaques, cling to ultra-small “bowls,” called nanobowls, scientists find. They can use these nanobowls to remove the toxic amyloid aggregates and further study them. Image Credit: Vrinda Sant. The plaques are formed due to the amyloid beta protein, the shape of which gets altered and tangled in the brain. The investigation of these protein aggregates in tissue samples often requires techniques that can disrupt them further, which makes it hard to figure out what occurs there.

Study shows why SARS-CoV-2 is more infectious than SARS-CoV-1

Researchers study how glycans activate SARS-CoV-2

Researchers study how glycans activate SARS-CoV-2 One thing that makes SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, elusive to the immune system is that it is covered in sugars called glycans. Once SARS-CoV-2 infects someone s body, it becomes covered in that person s unique glycans, making it difficult for the immune system to recognize the virus as something it needs to fight. Those glycans also play an important role in activating the virus. Terra Sztain-Pedone, a graduate student, and colleagues in the labs of Rommie Amaro at the University of California, San Diego and Lillian Chong at the University of Pittsburgh, studied exactly how the glycans activate SARS-CoV-2. Sztain-Pedone will present the research on Thursday, February 25 at the 65th Annual Meeting of the Biophysical Society.
