The hidden math of Alzheimer's could point to new treatments

Scientists have developed a mathematical model showing how common metals such as copper and zinc may influence the buildup of proteins associated with Alzheimer's disease, while exploring possible ways to stop the process. The findings could help researchers identify strategies for preventing harmful plaque formation; this remains model-stage work, not demonstrated human efficacy.
