k Alzheimers disease brain cell, TEM Alzheimers disease brain cell. Coloured transmission electron micrograph TEM of a neurofibrillary tangle in a nerve cell from the brain of a patient with Alzheimers disease. The tangle pink lies in the cytoplasm orange of the cell, and consists of abnormal aggregates of the protein tau. In the healthy cell, tau stabilises microtubules in the cytoplasm. It is not known precisely how the tangles are formed, nor their impact on the neurons function, but they are seen in a range of neural disorders including Alzheimers disease, CreutzfeldJakob disease CJD, some forms of Parkinsons disease, and Supranuclear Palsy. Magnification x2000 when printed at 10 centimetres wide. Stock Photo - Afloimages

Alzheimer's disease brain cell, TEM

Alzheimer's disease brain cell. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a neurofibrillary tangle in a nerve cell from the brain of a patient with Alzheimer's disease. The tangle (pink) lies in the cytoplasm (orange) of the cell, and consists of abnormal aggregates of the protein tau. In the healthy cell, tau stabilises microtubules in the cytoplasm. It is not known precisely how the tangles are formed, nor their impact on the neuron's function, but they are seen in a range of neural disorders including Alzheimer's disease, Creutzfeld-Jakob disease (CJD), some forms of Parkinson's disease, and Supranuclear Palsy. Magnification: x2000 when printed at 10 centimetres wide.
