MIT scientists have found a new way to monitor Alzheimer's disease using a fluorescent marker ("bubbles" in the background). The dye enters the brain after an intravenous injection and selectively binds to the plaques associated with the disease. Subsequent scanning with a near-infrared laser beam (hv) makes it possible to monitor the plaques through the characteristic fluorescence of the dye (bla...
