Researchers have used blue LED lights to effectively prevent the buildup of a protein known to cause Alzheimer's disease, an advance that may pave the way for light-induced treatments for neurodegenerative diseases. Scientists from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) and Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology conducted a research to suppress an abnormal assembly of beta-amyloids, a protein commonly found in the brain, by using photo-excited porphyrins.
