In breakthrough study, scientists watch dementia unfold using live brain cells
Thursday, 1 May 2025 () Researchers in Edinburgh have made a significant breakthrough by studying living human brain tissue to understand how dementia unfolds. The study revealed how amyloid beta, a toxic protein linked to Alzheimer's, damages connections between brain cells. This new approach allows scientists to test potential drugs and identify those that can prevent synapse loss, offering hope for future treatments.
