Protein Misfolding and Degenerative Diseases
... Current advances in medicine and technology are making our lives longer. Sadly, as our life expectancy increases, the chances of getting a degenerative disease like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, or diabetes also increases. Why is this? As incredible as it might sound, these diseases are caused not by ba ...
