Experiments on the International Space Station showed gravity affects the formation of amyloids, the pathological tangles of proteins found in the brains of those with Alzheimer’s disease. Both the speed by which they formed and the structure they took in microgravity differed from amyloids formed through similar means in an Earth-bound lab, the scientists reported, helping to understand how proteins assemble in ways that turn toxic. A study on this work, “Characterization of amyloid ß…
