High Resolution Nanoscope Opens Door to Better Understanding of Amyloid Plaques

Scientists at Purdue University report the development of a super-resolution nanoscope that provides a 3D view of brain molecules with 10-times greater detail. This imaging technique could help reveal how Alzheimer's disease progresses and where new treatments could intervene, say the researchers, who note that recent studies show that 40% of Americans over the age of 85 have Alzheimer's disease, and that the disease begins 10 to 20 years before people show up at the doctor's office with me
