When proteins get stuck at solid: unlocking the secrets to brain diseases

Biomedical engineers have developed sophisticated optical techniques to monitor at close range the process by which protein aggregates form during liquid-to-liquid transition. This can lead to solid condensates which can trigger a process that forms neural plaques, that can cause Alzheimer's and other diseases.
