Dynamics of the formation of a hydrogel by a pathogenic amyloid peptide: islet amyloid polypeptide [PDF]
, 2016 Many chronic degenerative diseases result from aggregation of misfolded polypeptides to form amyloids. Many amyloidogenic polypeptides are surfactants and their assembly can be catalysed by hydrophobic-hydrophilic interfaces (an air-water interface in ...

Investigation of low amyloid level toxicity effects on the function of hippocampal neurons
Open Life Sciences, 2015 Alzheimer disease (AD) is responsible for the majority of elderly dementia cases. There are multiple mouse models of AD, however, none of them completely recapitulate human pathology.

A unifying framework for amyloid-mediated membrane damage: The lipid-chaperon hypothesis [PDF]
, 2021 Over the past thirty years, researchers have highlighted the role played by a class of proteins or polypeptides that forms pathogenic amyloid aggregates in vivo, including i) the amyloid Abeta peptide, which is known to form senile plaques in Alzheimer's disease; ii) alpha-synuclein, responsible for Lewy body formation in Parkinson's disease and iii ...

The microglial "activation" continuum: from innate to adaptive responses [PDF]
, 2005 Microglia are innate immune cells of myeloid origin that take up residence in the central nervous system (CNS) during embryogenesis. While classically regarded as macrophage-like cells, it is becoming increasingly clear that reactive microglia play more ...
