Melatonin-mediated calcineurin inactivation attenuates amyloid beta-induced apoptosis

open access: yesIBRO Neuroscience Reports
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common age-related progressive neurodegenerative disorder. The accumulation of amyloid beta-peptide is a neuropathological marker of AD.

Passive Aβ Immunotherapy: Current Achievements and Future Perspectives

open access: yesMolecules, 2018
Passive immunotherapy has emerged as a very promising approach for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders, which are characterized by the misfolding and deposition of amyloid peptides. On the basis of the amyloid

Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy in Bionanotechnology: Current Advances and Future Perspectives

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) enables the nanoscale mapping of electrostatic surface potentials. While widely applied in materials science, its use in biological systems remains emerging. This review presents recent advances in KPFM applied to biological samples and provides a critical perspective on current limitations and future directions for

The amyloid-beta wave hypothesis of Alzheimer’s disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a complex and multifactorial disorder that affects all races and genders. Genetic traits influenced by lifestyle and environment lead to a tremendous amount of heterogeneity in Alzheimer’s disease onset and severity ...

Information-Selectivity of Beta-Amyloid Pathology in an Associative Memory Model

open access: yesFrontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2012
This work updates Ruppin and Reggia's associative neural network model of Alzheimer's disease by simulating beta-amyloid pathology and modelling the progression of beta-amyloid throughout the network according to Small's synaptic scaling theory, leading ...

The copper-amyloid-beta-peptide complex of Alzheimer’s disease: affinity, structure, fibril formation and toxicity

open access: yes, 2010
PhDSenile plaques of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients are composed primarily of the amyloid-β-peptide peptide (Aβ), and within these plaques Cu2+ ions are found concentrated and directly bound to Aβ.

A novel amyloid designable scaffold and potential inhibitor inspired by GAIIG of amyloid beta and the HIV-1 V3 loop.

open access: yes, 2018
The GAIIG sequence, common to the amyloid beta peptide (residues 29-33) and to the HIV-1 gp120 (residues 24-28 in a typical V3 loop), self-assembles into amyloid fibrils, as suggested by theory and the experiments presented here.

E. coli Extracellular Matrix: A Tunable Composite With Hierarchical Structure

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
The complex composite‐like mechanical behavior of E. coli biofilm matrix is the result of a synergic contribution of the rigid curli and swelling pEtN‐cellulose, and emerges from specific ratio and assembly conditions. The interactions between the two fibers govern biofilm hydration and characteristic wrinkling patterns, providing crucial insights for ...

Oligomers mediate the spatial transmission of Aβ peptide aggregation

open access: yesCommunications Chemistry
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is marked by the abnormal aggregation of amyloid-beta peptides within the central nervous system. The formation of amyloid fibrils from amyloid-beta peptides is a hallmark of AD Here, we demonstrate that the aggregation of ...
