A breakthrough artificial intelligence (AI) tool RibbonFold is offering new insights into how disease-related proteins misfold, a process that plays a central role in neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that gradually destroys memory and thinking skills, and eventually, the ability to carry out the simplest tasks. Alzheimer’s disease is caused by the abnormal build-up of proteins in and around brain cells. The exact cause of Alzheimer’s disease is unknown. There is no cure for Alzheimer’s disease, but there are treatments that can help manage the symptoms and slow the progression of the disease.
