Scripps Research scientists discovered that a chemically modified protein puts the brain’s immune cells in a state of damaging, chronic overactivation—and that blocking it protects brain cell connections.

New findings from Scripps Research show that changes in protein shape—rather than quantity of proteins—offer a potential new way to detect and track Alzheimer’s disease.

The recognized researchers encompass various areas including chemistry, microbiology, immunology, biochemistry and more.
