Intracellular tracing of amyloid vaccines through direct fluorescent labelling

Abstract Alzheimer’s disease is a debilitating neurodegenerative condition that progressively causes synaptic loss and major neuronal damage. Immunotherapy utilising Aβ as an active immunogen or via passive treatment utilising antibodies raised to amyloid have shown therapeutic promise. The migrator...

description Abstract Alzheimer’s disease is a debilitating neurodegenerative condition that progressively causes synaptic loss and major neuronal damage.
