During the course of Alzheimer's disease, protein fibrils appear in the spinal fluid of affected individuals. Empa researchers, together with the Department of Neurology at the Cantonal Hospital in St ...

AFM is a scanning probe microscopic instrument that consists of a force-sensing microcantilever, a laser source, a piezoelectric scanner and a photodiode detector (Figure 1A). During AFM imaging, the ...

Testing for protein clumps in spinal fluid is the conventional way of detecting Alzheimer’s disease, but it doesn’t provide information about the disease's stage. In a new study, researchers were able ...

Researchers at Kanazawa University report in Nano Letters how high-speed atomic force microscopy leads to insights into processes relevant to Alzheimer’s disease. Moreover, the technique is shown to ...

Available to watch now, IUVSTA in partnership with Bruker explores the infrared quantification of glycosylation in protein and AFM-IR The recent coupling of infrared spectroscopy with atomic force ...
