Shining a light on the role of trace metals in neurodegenerative diseases

Futurum

A team of researchers with expertise in physics, engineering and biology are finding out whether trace metals in the brain are linked to neurodegenerative diseases. This gives each element a unique set of energy levels – a signature that shows up when X-rayed. Published: May 11, 2022. diffraction, tomography, fluorescence).
