Astrocytic LRP1 mediates brain Aβ clearance and impacts amyloid deposition [PDF]
Accumulation and deposition of amyloid-β (Aβ) in the brain represent an early and perhaps necessary step in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Sex-specific effects of microbiome perturbations on cerebral Aβ amyloidosis and microglia phenotypes. [PDF]
We demonstrated that an antibiotic cocktail (ABX)-perturbed gut microbiome is associated with reduced amyloid-β (Aβ) plaque pathology and astrogliosis in the male amyloid precursor protein (APP)SWE /presenilin 1 (PS1)ΔE9 transgenic model of Aβ ...

Association of Aβ with ceramide-enriched astrosomes mediates Aβ neurotoxicity [PDF]
Amyloid-β (Aβ) associates with extracellular vesicles termed exosomes. It is not clear whether and how exosomes modulate Aβ neurotoxicity in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). We show here that brain tissue and serum from the transgenic mouse model of familial AD

Aβ plaques are one of the two lesions in the brain that define the neuropathological diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease. Plaques are highly diverse structures; many of them include massed, fibrillar polymers of the Aβ protein referred to as Aβ-amyloid, but

Intraneuronal accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides represent an early pathological feature in Alzheimer’s disease. We have therefore utilized flow cytometry and confocal microscopy in combination with endocytosis inhibition to explore the ...

Platelet glycogen synthase kinase 3β regulates plasma β amyloid and phosphorylated tau levels in chronic kidney disease patients with cognitive dysfunction; therapeutic role of erythropoietin [PDF]
Introduction: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have increasingly been diagnosed with cognitive impairment. Glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) is directly causing both phosphorylated tau (pTau) and amyloid β (Aβ) accumulation in Alzheimer’s ...

Geniposide protection against Aβ1-42 toxicity correlates with mTOR inhibition and enhancement of autophagy [PDF]
Overactivation of the PI3-K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway and inhibition of autophagy in the brain are involved in Alzheimer’s disease. The present paper’s goal was to explore the potential mechanisms of geniposide to protect against Alzheimer’s disease.

Interaction between Aβ and Tau in the Pathogenesis of Alzheimer's Disease
Extracellular neuritic plaques composed of amyloid‑β (Aβ) protein and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles containing phosphorylated tau protein are the two hallmark proteins of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and the separate neurotoxicity of these proteins ...

Alzheimer's disease is a major neurodegenerative illness whose prevalence is increasing worldwide but the molecular mechanism remains unclear. There is some scientific evidence that the molecular complexity of Alzheimer's pathophysiology is associated with the formation of extracellular amyloid-beta plaques in the brain.

Thioflavin T as an amyloid dye: fibril quantification, optimal concentration and effect on aggregation [PDF]
Formation of amyloid fibrils underlies a wide range of human disorders, including Alzheimer's and prion diseases. The amyloid fibrils can be readily detected thanks to thioflavin T (ThT), a small molecule that gives strong fluorescence upon binding to ...
