Quick Summary
New treatments for neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and motor neuron disease (MND) could be unlocked thanks to microscopic medicines developed by researchers at the University of Essex. Using artificial intelligence, an international team of scientists has created tiny antibody fragments that can be made directly inside human cells, where they bind to proteins linked to disease.
