Tiny brain tubes discovered by Johns Hopkins could explain Alzheimer’s disease

Johns Hopkins scientists have discovered that neurons form tiny networks of nanotubes to transport toxins like beta-amyloid. The discovery shows how brain cells can eliminate waste but also unintentionally spread proteins linked to Alzheimer’s disease. The brain’s hidden tube network revealed Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers have discovered how mammalian brains form complex tube-shaped networks that move toxic substances through and […]
