Physical Characterisation of pre‐clinical progressive model of Alzheimer’s Disease

Alginate beads are stable over time in a brain-like environment. Furthermore alginate beads of 1.5% Alg and 0.3%M closely match the brain environment. Alginate also causes no significant inflammatory response. Therefore alginate is a suitable carrier for 7PA2 further work must now be done in characterising 7PA2 cells and their amyloid species and the eventual effects in the brain.
