Scientists find a way to detect the spectral signals of amyloid fibrils

(St. Petersburg State University) Researchers from St Petersburg University have created a new theory of diffusion NMR experiments to study amyloid fibrils. Fibrils are one of the key factors behind various forms of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease. The researchers showed that using a diffusion filter it is possible to separate the spectral signals of fibrils and other components of the amyloidogenic sample and obtain their individual spectra, which has been considered impossible for a lo...
