Mysterious amyloid protein linked to aging research
Reports from a national aging conference describe amyloid a protein found in the brains and organs of elderly people. Scientists believe it may play a larger role in aging and senility than previously thought, though its exact cause or prevention remains unclear. The studies note amyloid appears in many species and may be a universal biological process. Further funded research could clarify its role and lead to treatments for senile plaques.
