PDB_Amyloid: The Extended Live Amyloid Structure List from the PDB [PDF]
The Protein Data Bank (PDB) contains more than 135 000 entries today. From these, relatively few amyloid structures can be identified, since amyloids are insoluble in water. Therefore, mostly solid state NMR-recorded amyloid structures are deposited in the PDB.

FAM222A encodes a protein which accumulates in plaques in Alzheimer's disease. [PDF]
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by amyloid plaques and progressive cerebral atrophy. Here, we report FAM222A as a putative brain atrophy susceptibility gene.

Brain amyloid in preclinical Alzheimer\u27s disease is associated with increased driving risk [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: Postmortem studies suggest that fibrillar brain amyloid places people at higher risk for hazardous driving in the preclinical stage of Alzheimer's disease (AD). METHODS: We administered driving questionnaires to 104 older drivers (19 AD, 24

An Overview of the Role of Lipofuscin in Age-Related Neurodegeneration
Despite aging being by far the greatest risk factor for highly prevalent neurodegenerative disorders, the molecular underpinnings of age-related brain changes are still not well understood, particularly the transition from normal healthy brain aging to ...

Effect of Surfaces on Amyloid Fibril Formation [PDF]
Using atomic force microscopy (AFM) we investigated the interaction of amyloid beta (Ab) (1 42) peptide with chemically modified surfaces in order to better understand the mechanism of amyloid toxicity, which involves interaction of amyloid with cell membrane surfaces.

Changes in lipid membranes may trigger amyloid toxicity in Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
Amyloid beta peptides (A\b{eta}), implicated in Alzheimers disease (AD), interact with the cellular membrane and induce amyloid toxicity. The composition of cellular membranes changes in aging and AD. We designed multi component lipid models to mimic healthy and diseased states of the neuronal membrane. Using atomic force microscopy (AFM), Kelvin probe

Functional characterization of TasA and TapA in the formation of the amyloid fiber in Bacillus subtilis [PDF]
Introduction Functional amyloids are a very heterogeneous family of amyloid proteins widespread in nature, from humans to bacteria. Unlike their “pathogenic” relatives, implicated in several neurodegenerative diseases, functional amyloids play important

Bayesian latent time joint mixed-effects model of progression in the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative. [PDF]
IntroductionWe characterize long-term disease dynamics from cognitively healthy to dementia using data from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative.MethodsWe apply a latent time joint mixed-effects model to 16 cognitive, functional, biomarker ...

Early BMI Change, Cognitive Decline, and CSF AD Biomarkers Alterations in Parkinson's Disease
ABSTRACT Objective To examine the relationship of early BMI change with subsequent cognitive decline, CSF AD biomarkers alterations, and progression to dementia in patients with PD. Methods Study data were prospectively collected from the PPMI cohort. Weight/height data at enrollment and second‐year clinical visit were utilized to calculate BMI change.
