G82S RAGE polymorphism is associated with Alzheimer’s disease
Receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) has been implicated in the pathophysiology of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) due to its ability to interact with amyloid beta and to elicit an inflammatory response. sRAGE, one of the splice variants of RAGE,

Pro-domain removal in ASP-2 and the cleavage of the amyloid precursor are influenced by pH. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: One of the signatures of Alzheimer's disease is the accumulation of aggregated amyloid protein, Abeta, in the brain. Abeta arises from cleavage of the Amyloid Precursor protein by beta and gamma secretases, which present attractive candidates

Advances in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease: a re-evaluation of amyloid cascade hypothesis
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a common neurodegenerative disease characterized clinically by progressive deterioration of memory, and pathologically by histopathological changes including extracellular deposits of amyloid-beta (A-beta) peptides forming ...

Curcumin Inhibits the Primary Nucleation of Amyloid-Beta Peptide: A Molecular Dynamics Study
The amyloid plaques are a key hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. Amyloidogenesis is a complex long-lasting multiphase process starting with the formation of nuclei of amyloid peptides: a process ...

Autoxidation Enhances Anti-Amyloid Potential of Flavone Derivatives
The increasing prevalence of amyloid-related disorders, such as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease, raises the need for effective anti-amyloid drugs. It has been shown on numerous occasions that flavones, a group of naturally occurring anti-oxidants, can

Biomolecular studies in Alzheimer’s Disease models: investigations in vitro and in vivo [PDF]
The Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the most prevalent form of age-related dementia, is a multifactorial and heterogeneous neurodegenerative disease. The molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of AD are yet largely unknown.

Cerebrospinal Fluid Tau, p-Tau 181 and Amyloid-beta(38/40/42) in Frontotemporal Dementias and Primary Progressive Aphasias [PDF]
Background/Aims: We determined cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations of amyloid-beta(A beta)(1-38), A beta(1-40), A beta(1-42), total tau and phospho-tau (p-tau) in order to study their differential expression in frontotemporal dementia (FTD, n = 25 ...

Resveratrol, a natural polyphenol found in tempeh, has not been investigated especially in vitro as a neuroprotective agent against 2-methoxyethanol (2-ME)-induced beta-amyloid cytotoxicity. Beta amyloid peptides (Aβ) could initiate neurotoxic events and

Amyloid-.BETA. peptide metabolism and Alzheimer's disease
The deposition of amyloid-beta peptide (Abeta) causes the long-term pathological cascade of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Neprilysin is a rate-limiting peptidase, which participates in Abeta degradation in brain. As demonstrated by reverse genetics, the disruption of neprilysin gene causes an elevation in endogenous Abeta levels in the mouse brain in a ...
