Cambridge demonstrates how science is improving lives
The LMB recently welcomed George Freeman MP as part of a wider visit to the Cambridge Biomedical Campus to learn how Cambridge is leading innovation in life sciences. During a tour of the LMB with Jan Löwe, Chris Russo and Madeline Lancaster, the Minister saw and learned how developments in low-energy cryo-EM will increase accessibility […]
Collaborative LMB study reveals S-shaped structure of Aβ42 filaments in Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative diseases
A recent structural study led by Sjors Scheres, Michel Goedert and Benjamin Ryskeldi-Falcon’s groups at the LMB has used cryo-EM to detect two main types of Aβ42 filaments from both sporadic and familial Alzheimer’s disease. More…
