In October 2014, we posted an article on ThirdAge.com about an “Alzheimer’s in a Dish Model” (https://thirdage.com/node/2884631) developed at Massachusetts General Hospital. Now, in December 2014, the search for a living laboratory model of human neurons in the grip of Alzheimer’s disease (AD)–the so-called “Alzheimer’s in a dish”–has a new candidate. In work presented at… Continue reading Another “Alzheimer’s in a Dish” Model

“Alzheimer’s-in-a-Dish” Confirms Amyloid Hypothesis
An innovative laboratory culture system has succeeded, for the first time, in reproducing the full course of events underlying the development of Alzheimer’s disease. Using the system they developed, investigators from the Genetics and Aging Research Unit at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) now provide the first clear evidence supporting the hypothesis that deposition of beta-amyloid… Continue reading “Alzheimer’s-in-a-Dish” Confirms Amyloid Hypothesis
