Researchers discover amyloid protein buildup in bone marrow of aging mice

A recent study led by a team of researchers at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine examining aging mice has provided what is believed to be the first evidence that amyloid beta protein-small, sticky protein fragment found in people with Alzheimer's disease (AD)-particles build up in the bone marrow of the animals, although not in the exact same form as the large, dense plaques found in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease.
