Post‐Translational Isoaspartate Promotes Amyloid Formation in β2‐Microglobulin
Chemical synthesis of five β2‐microglobulin (β2m) variants reveals the structural impact of Asn deamidation. By introducing Asp or isoAsp at susceptible Asn‐Gly sequences, we demonstrate that isoAsp17 formation specifically accelerates amyloid fibril formation, highlighting its potential contribution to dialysis‐related amyloidosis.

Resting State fMRI Reveals Diminished Functional Connectivity in a Mouse Model of Amyloidosis [PDF]
Introduction: Functional connectivity (FC) studies have gained immense popularity in the evaluation of several neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD). AD is a complex disorder, characterised by several pathological features. The problem

Multiorgan Dysfunction and Associated Prognosis in Transthyretin Cardiac Amyloidosis
Background Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR‐CA) is a progressive and ultimately fatal cardiomyopathy. Biomarkers reflecting multiorgan dysfunction are of increasing importance in patients with heart failure; however, their significance in ATTR‐CA ...

QBP1 Peptide as a Potential Anti‐Amyloidogenic Therapy for Type 2 Diabetes: An In Vitro Study
The anti‐amyloidogenic peptide QBP1 effectively halts human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP) aggregation, preventing the formation of toxic β‐structured intermediates. Through a combination of biophysical assays, molecular dynamics, and cell‐based studies, QBP1 is shown to preserve β‐cell viability and metabolic homeostasis, positioning it as a ...

Primary Localized Amyloidosis of the Bladder Mimicking Neoplasia [PDF]
A 63-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with macroscopic hematuria in 2013. On computed tomography, the bladder wall thickness was 2 cm, suspicious for malignancy.

The 10B‐enriched monocarbonyl analog of curcumin (BMAC) 10B‐9 enables site‐specific Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) on amyloid‐β (Aβ) fibrils. Neutron irradiation induces histidine oxidation and fibril destabilization, as revealed by 1H‐NMR and FESEM analyses.
