Nature Communications, 2018 To date, only one mutation in the gene for amyloid-beta precursor protein APP has been suggested to be protective against Alzheimer’s disease. Here, authors found using gene editing of a mutant App knock-in mouse line that deletion of the 3’UTR region is

Protein Regge Trajectories, Phase Coexistence and Physics of Alzheimer's Disease [PDF]
arXiv, 2011 Alzheimer's disease causes severe neurodegeneration in the brain that leads to a certain death. The defining factor is the formation of extracellular senile amyloid plaques in the brain. However, therapeutic approaches to remove them have not been effective in humans, and so our understanding of the cause of Alzheimer's disease remains incomplete. Here

What drives amyloid molecules to assemble into oligomers and fibrils? [PDF]
, 2010 We develop a general theory for three states of equilibrium of amyloid peptides: the monomer, oligomer, and fibril. We assume that the oligomeric state is a disordered micelle-like collection of a few peptide chains held together loosely by hydrophobic interactions into a spherical hydrophobic core.

Herpes simplex virus interferes with amyloid precursor protein processing [PDF]
, 2005 Background The early events underlying Alzheimer's disease (AD) remain uncertain, although environmental factors may be involved. Work in this laboratory has shown that the combination of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1) in brain and carriage of the

Designed Biomaterial‐Enhanced Cell Transplantation for Neural Tissue Engineering
Aggregate, EarlyView.Biomaterials offer a promising solution for cell transplantation in the central nervous system by creating a protective environment that enhances cell survival, integration, and functional recovery in preclinical models of neurological disorders. ABSTRACT Cell transplantation therapy in the central nervous system is hindered by limited survival and ...

Axonal amyloid precursor protein and its fragments undergo somatodendritic endocytosis and processing. [PDF]
, 2015 Deposition of potentially neurotoxic Aβ fragments derived from amyloid precursor protein (APP) at synapses may be a key contributor to Alzheimer's disease.

Hydrogel‐Based Smart Materials for Wound Healing and Sensing
Aggregate, EarlyView.The graphical abstract illustrates the role of hydrogel‐based flexible materials in advancing biomedical applications, including wound healing, point‐of‐care diagnostics, smart patches, and wearable devices. Hydrogels are particularly promising in modern wound care due to their high‐water content, flexibility, and biocompatibility.

Use of Peptides for the Management of Alzheimer’s Disease: Diagnosis and Inhibition
Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2018 Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a form of dementia and the most common progressive neurodegenerative disease (ND). The targeting of amyloid-beta (Aβ) aggregation is one of the most widely used strategies to manage AD, and efforts are being made globally to ...
