A computer generated molecular model of heparan sulphates
Scientists at the University of Liverpool and Callaghan
Innovation in New Zealand have developed a new chemical approach to help
harness the natural ability of complex sugars to treat Alzheimer’s disease.
The team used a new chemical method to produce a library of
sugars, called heparan sulphates, which are known to control the formation of
the proteins in the brain that cause memory loss.
