The Possible Role of Glow Sticks—Yes, Glow Sticks—in Treating Alzheimer’s
A new imaging probe that could help to advance therapies for Alzheimer’s disease draws its inspiration from an unlikely source. Research suggests that Alzheimer’s is closely associated with increased levels of ‘reactive oxygen species’ (ROS) in the brain, but actual, in vivo evidence of this h...
