Remember Dr. Alzheimer found strange plaques and tangles in Auguste's brain a century ago.
This causes the protein molecules to stick to each other, forming clumps that eventually become large plaques and tangles.
Fatty deposits, or plaques, develop on the walls of our coronary arteries.
These plaques grow as we age, sometimes getting chunky, hardened, or enflamed.
Eventually, the plaques can turn into blockages.
If one of the plaques ruptures or cracks, a blood clot will form around it in minutes, and a partially closed artery can become completely blocked.
And when this happens, it binds to itself, forming sticky aggregates called amyloid plaques.
This initial step into the disease, this presence of amyloid plaques accumulating, can already be found in your brains.
So what happens when amyloid plaques accumulate to this tipping point?
Many scientists are betting big on the simplest solution: keep amyloid plaques from reaching that tipping point, which means that drug discovery is largely focused on developing a compound that will prevent, eliminate, or reduce amyloid plaque accumulation.
Think of amyloid plaques as a lit match.
Even before scientists sort this out, this information is actually really good news for us, because it turns out that the way we live can influence the accumulation of amyloid plaques.
You're not a spring chicken anymore, so you've accumulated some amyloid plaques with age.
Let's imagine that your amyloid plaques have reached that tipping point.
You have plaques and tangles and inflammation and microglia devouring that synapse.
Even with brains full of plaques and tangles, some people stayed sharp to the end.
Those plaques are plaques we've been installing around North America.
The funniest scene of this movie is probably when our saviours get their medals and plaques and whatnot.
Alzheimer’s disease was identified more than a century ago from autopsy results that showed characteristic brain lesions called “amyloid plaques.”
Doctors rely on observation of memory loss and other thinking deficits (such as reasoning or language comprehension) – signs that plaques are already present in the brain.
But any cure would have to be administered before the plaques form, and years before symptoms of dementia appear.
The research found that amyloid-beta – the substance that clumps together and forms amyloid plaques – becomes depleted in the cerebrospinal fluid around the brain as long as 25 years before the onset of dementia.
Fifteen years prior to onset, a positron emission tomography (PET) scan showed amyloid-beta being deposited in plaques in the brain itself.
Even if accurate early prediction of Alzheimer’s eventually is achieved, there are currently no drugs available to prevent or cure it before the amyloid plaques start destroying the mind.
In the plaques beside the paintings, MoMA referred to Trump’s order explicitly, and asserted that it had hung the paintings to “affirm the ideals of welcome and freedom” that are vital to the US.
The smoke of the tar rose up between the trees; there were large fatty drops on the water, undulating in the purple colour of the sun, like floating plaques of Florentine bronze.
