This study identifies a redox mechanism in human serum albumin (HSA) that reduces Cu(II) to Cu(I) via disulphide bonds and conformational changes, revealing a new role for protein-mediated copper regulation.

This study shows that α-lipoic acid can normalize copper metabolism in Alzheimer's disease by increasing intracellular copper levels and reducing disease symptoms in a Drosophila model.
