New Molecule Destroys Alzheimer’s-Causing Amyloid Tangles
The green tea molecule, known as EGCG, is known to break up tau fibers, which are lengthy, multilayered filaments that create tangles that target neurons and cause them to die.A molecule found in green tea helped UCLA biochemists in the discovery of multiple molecules capable of destroying tau fibers.University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) researchers used a molecule present in green tea to uncover more molecules that may break up protein tangles in the brain, which are known to cause <span…
