Poorly insulated nerve cells promote Alzheimer’s disease in old age Researchers at the MPI-NAT have shown that defective myelin actively promotes disease-related changes in Alzheimer’s disease.

Scientists around @ConstanzeDepp, @TingSun_MPINAT & @KlausNave have now shown that defective #myelin actively promotes disease-related changes in #Alzheimer’s. Read more about their #research findings here: ⬇ @Nature #nervecell #amyloidplaques #microglia

🔠 #MPINAT_ABC – #P like #PatchClamp
A method for measuring the extraordinarily weak electric current through a single open #ionchannel in a #nervecell membrane. For this, Erwin Neher and Bert Sakmann received the #NobelPrize for #Physiology or #Medicine 🏅 in 1991.
