Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a debilitating neurodegenerative condition characterized by progressive cognitive impairment, memory deterioration, and neuronal dysfunction. Its complex pathophysiology involves multiple interlinked processes, including amyloid‐β (Aβ) aggregation, tau hyperphosphorylation, oxidative stress, neuroinflammation ...

In Silico Structure‐Guided Design of Peptide Candidates Targeting γ‐Secretase Subunit Assembly
Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The γ‐secretase complex is a membrane‐embedded protease essential for intramembrane cleavage of substrates such as Notch receptors and the amyloid precursor protein (APP), processes central to cancer progression and Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology.

HIV-1 counteracts an innate restriction by amyloid precursor protein resulting in neurodegeneration
Nature Communications, 2017 HIV infection results in elevated beta-amyloid (Aβ) levels in the brain, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Here, the authors show that amyloid precursor protein inhibits virion production and that HIV Gag, counteracting this antiviral function ...

Presenilins and γ-Secretase in Membrane Proteostasis
Cells, 2019 The presenilin (PS) proteins exert a crucial role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer disease (AD) by mediating the intramembranous cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP) and the generation of amyloid β-protein (Aβ).

A reporter for amyloid precursor protein γ-secretase activity in Drosophila [PDF]
, 2003 A key event in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the deposition of senile plaques consisting largely of a peptide known as β-amyloid (Aβ) that is derived from the amyloid precursor protein (APP).

Phosphate‐ and pH‐dependent self‐assembly of recombinant spider silk proteins
Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract The process of molecular self‐assembly is an omnipresent mechanism in nature to generate a variety of efficient and functional hierarchical architectures, and inspires tailored material design and development. Thereby, self‐assembly is based on a controlled interplay and association of monomers into highly ordered structures triggered by ...
