    Polymer Physics Sheds Light on Tau Fibril Formation in Alzheimer’s

    New Cross-Disciplinary Insight into Alzheimer’s Pathology Researchers at Tokyo Metropolitan University have bridged fields by applying concepts from polymer physics to the study of tau protein fibrillogenesis, a central feature of Alzheimer’s disease pathology. By treating tau proteins as dynamic polymers that can assemble, rearrange, and crystallize under cellular conditions, the team is uncovering the…
