Summary: Graphene oxide nanoflakes have been found to help yeast cells recover from accumulated amyloid peptides, which are linked to Alzheimer's disease.
A probable early driver of Alzheimer’s disease is the accumulation of molecules called amyloid peptides. These cause cell death, and are commonly found in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients. Researchers have now shown that yeast cells that accumulate these misfolded amyloid peptides can recover after being treated with graphene oxide nanoflakes.
