Abstract: Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that causes problems with thinking, memory, and behavior. Abnormal clumps of protein called amyloids play a central role in Alzheimer’s disease. Extracellular vesicles are released by all cells in our bodies and are believed to be important in Alzheimer’s disease, although their exact role is yet to be uncovered. We have studied the effect of extracellular vesicles on the formation of amyloids.
