Methods of reducing toxicity induced by Amyloid beta (A-beta) oligomers using antibodies specific to A-beta oligomers
Researchers have developed special antibodies that can attach to harmful A-beta oligomers, which are linked to diseases like Alzheimer's. These antibodies help reduce the toxic effects caused by these oligomers in the body. The process involves creating and using these antibodies effectively. By targeting A-beta oligomers, the antibodies aim to protect brain cells from damage. This approach could lead to new treatments for conditions related to A-beta toxicity.
