Amyloid and tau in the brain in sporadic Alzheimer’s disease: defining the chicken and the egg [PDF]
In the October 2013 issue of Acta Neuropathologica there were three very interesting articles on: Amyloid or tau: the chicken or the egg? In the first article, David Mann and John Hardy argued that the deposition of aggregated amyloid β (Aβ) protein in ...

As amyloid neuropathies have benefited from recent major progress, this review is timely and relevant.The main recent articles on amyloid neuropathy cover its description, methods for diagnosis and therapies. Varied clinical presentations are described in transthyretin (TTR)-familial amyloidosis with polyneuropathy (FAP) and light chain amyloid ...

The formation of amyloid fibers is associated with a diverse range of disease and phenotypic states. These amyloid fibers often assemble into multi-protofibril, high-order architectures in vivo and in vitro.

Inflammatory components in human Alzheimer's disease and after active amyloid-β42 immunization
Inflammatory processes are important in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease and in response to amyloid-β immunotherapy. We investigated the expression of multiple inflammatory markers in the brains of 28 non-immunized patients with Alzheimer's ...

Cerebral amyloid angiopathy : new insights from transgenic mice [PDF]
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is characterized by the deposition of congophilic material within the walls of small to medium-sized blood vessels of the brain and leptomeninges.

Heterohybridomas producing human immunoglobulin light chains using CD138-selected bone marrow cells
Background: Light chain research is hampered by lack of mammalian cell lines producing human light chains (FLC). Therefore, we used heterohybridoma (HH) technology to produce clones making FLC thereby providing tools to study light chain behavior ...

AL Amyloidosis for the Cardiologist and Oncologist
AL amyloidosis results from clonal production of immunoglobulin light chains, most commonly arising from a clonal plasma cell disorder. Once considered a nearly uniformly fatal disease, prognosis has improved markedly over the past 15 years ...

Many bacteria can assemble functional amyloid fibers on their cell surface. The majority of bacterial amyloids contribute to biofilm or other community behaviors where cells interact with a surface or with another cell. Bacterial amyloids, like all functional amyloids, share structural and biochemical properties with disease-associated eukaryotic ...

Transthyretin in high density lipoproteins: association with apolipoprotein A-I
Previous studies have revealed the presence of transthyretin (TTR) on lipoproteins. To further address this issue, we fractionated plasma lipoproteins from 9 normal individuals, 10 familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP) patients, and 19 hyperlipidemic
