With $30,000 from the Alzheimer’s Art Quilt Initiative researchers at the University of Michigan were able to create new molecular tools that show promise for cleansing the brain of amyloid plaques, implicated in Alzheimer’s disease! The plaques — a hallmark of the disease —are thought to contribute to cell death, leading to devastating memory loss and cognitive decline.
