Amyloid-Beta Misfolding and Clumping Causes Cells To Overheat and “Fry” - Technology Networks

Researchers from the University of Cambridge have identified that as amyloid-beta misfolds and clumps together, it releases heat that "fries" the cell and potentially induces more and more aggregates to form.

The researchers, from the University of Cambridge, used sensors small and sensitive enough to detect temperature changes inside individual cells, and found that as amyloid-beta misfolds and clumps to… [+4826 chars]
