• Cognitive Impairment: Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia and a major contributor to cognitive impairment in older adults.
• Protein Misfolding: Misfolding and aggregation of proteins like amyloid-beta are implicated in Alzheimer’s disease.
• Neurodegenerative Diseases: Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by the aggregation of amyloid-beta and tau proteins.
• Amyloid Plaques: Amyloid plaques, composed of aggregated amyloid-beta protein, are a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease.
• Protein Folding: Misfolding and aggregation of proteins like amyloid-beta are implicated in Alzheimer’s disease.
• Protein Folding Diseases: Alzheimer’s disease is a protein folding disease caused by the misfolding and aggregation of the amyloid-beta and tau proteins.
• Iris (Film): The film explores Iris Murdoch’s struggle with Alzheimer’s disease and its impact on her life and marriage.
• Neurofibrillary Tangles: Neurofibrillary tangles, composed of aggregated tau protein, are another hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease.
