Researchers discover the dynamics of amyloid proteins, key structures for research into new therapeutic approaches for neurodegenerative disease Blog Post

A study on amyloid fibrils, structures related to cell death triggered by neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s, describes, for the first time, the dynamics of these fibrils and the possibility to establish the parameters that characterize this movement. This discovery, made by researchers at the (IRB-PCB) and by the , will allow scientists to initiate new lines of research to find new drugs that can be used to treat these diseases. The results from this study have been published in the edition of the scientific journal released on 28 July.
