A new study has identified polyphosphate as a likely “mystery density” within fibrils associated with Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases. This discovery may deepen understanding of fibril roles in disease, potentially guiding new treatments, though further research is needed to confirm polyphosphate’s protective effects in the human brain. A research team from the University of […]
