In silico study about β-amyloid’s role in Alzheimer’s disease and glaucoma and prediction of its interactions with glaucoma related proteins [PDF]
Aim: The significance of β-amyloid protein as a key player in neuro-degenerative disorders viz. Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD) has been extensively researched and reported.

Amyloid-β inhibits No-cGMP signaling in a CD36- and CD47-dependent manner. [PDF]
Amyloid-β interacts with two cell surface receptors, CD36 and CD47, through which the matricellular protein thrombospondin-1 inhibits soluble guanylate cyclase activation. Here we examine whether amyloid-β shares this inhibitory activity.

The Amyloid-β Pathway in Alzheimer’s Disease
Breakthroughs in molecular medicine have positioned the amyloid-β (Aβ) pathway at the center of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathophysiology. While the detailed molecular mechanisms of the pathway and the spatial-temporal dynamics leading to synaptic failure,

Amyloid β-based therapy for Alzheimer’s disease: challenges, successes and future
Amyloid β protein (Aβ) is the main component of neuritic plaques in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and its accumulation has been considered as the molecular driver of Alzheimer’s pathogenesis and progression.

The brains of Alzheimer’s disease patients show a decrease in brain mass and a preponderance of extracellular Amyloid-β plaques. These plaques are formed by aggregation of polypeptides that are derived from the Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP).

Amyloid formation reduces protein kinase B phosphorylation in primary islet β-cells which is improved by blocking IL-1β signaling. [PDF]
Amyloid formation in the pancreatic islets due to aggregation of human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP) contributes to reduced β-cell mass and function in type 2 diabetes (T2D) and islet transplantation. Protein kinase B (PKB) signaling plays a key role

A β-Amyloid(1-42) Biosensor Based on Molecularly Imprinted Poly-Pyrrole for Early Diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease [PDF]
Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a common form of dementia, characterized by production and deposition of β-amyloid peptide in the brain. Thus, β-amyloid peptide is a potentially promising biomarker used to diagnose and monitor the progression of ...

Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) is considered an early risk stage for dementia due to Alzheimer's disease (AD) and the development of pathological brain changes, such as the aggregation of amyloid-beta (amyloid-β) plaques.

Myelin dysfunction drives amyloid-β deposition in models of Alzheimer’s disease
Mouse models show that myelin dysfunction and associated inflammation increase with age, which can promote amyloid-β deposition and therefore risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. The incidence of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the leading cause of dementia,
