Recent research has shown that the modulation of cell membrane formation could be a promising approach to treating amyloid-associated diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease. A team of researchers from the University of California, San Francisco, used a combination of mathematical modeling, biochemistry, and cell biology to study the role of cell membrane formation in the development of amyloid-associated diseases. They found that targeting the cell membrane formation process could provide a new way to reduce the accumulation of toxic amyloid proteins. The team is hopeful that this new approach could help to prevent or slow the progression of these devastating diseases.
