Neutron diffraction reveals sequence-specific membrane insertion of pre-fibrillar islet amyloid polypeptide and inhibition by rifampicin [PDF]

, 2005
Human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP) forms amyloid deposits in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). Pre-fibrillar hIAPP oligomers (in contrast to monomeric IAPP or mature fibrils) increase membrane permeability, suggesting an important ...

Beta‐Amyloid as an antibacterial peptide

The FASEB Journal, 2021
Alzheimer's disease (AD) has become a significant health concern as the number of diagnoses continues to increase worldwide. Alzheimer's disease is a multifactorial disease‐causing inflammation that causes the propagation of neurofibrillary tangles and beta‐amyloid plaques. The propagation leads to the destruction of brain cells.

GABA and glutamate moderate beta-amyloid related functional connectivity in cognitively unimpaired old-aged adults

NeuroImage: Clinical, 2019
Background: Effects of beta-amyloid accumulation on neuronal function precede the clinical manifestation of Alzheimer's disease (AD) by years and affect distinct cognitive brain networks.

Estrogen protects neuronal cells from amyloid beta-induced apoptosis via regulation of mitochondrial proteins and function

BMC Neuroscience, 2006
Background Neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease is associated with increased apoptosis and parallels increased levels of amyloid beta, which can induce neuronal apoptosis.

Cerebrospinal Fluid Tau, p-Tau 181 and Amyloid-beta(38/40/42) in Frontotemporal Dementias and Primary Progressive Aphasias [PDF]

, 2010
Background/Aims: We determined cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations of amyloid-beta(A beta)(1-38), A beta(1-40), A beta(1-42), total tau and phospho-tau (p-tau) in order to study their differential expression in frontotemporal dementia (FTD, n = 25 ...

The Contribution of S100B Suppression by Arundic Acid to the Inhibition of the Glio-Toxicity Induced by Beta-Amyloid in an Astrocytes Culture [PDF]

Journal of Advanced Biomedical Sciences, 2019
Background & Objective: It has been shown that glial activation has important role in the pathophysiology of Alzheimer’s disease. S100B is an astrocyte specific factor with deleterious effects on the neuronal and non-neuronal cells in the central nervous

Intranasal neprilysin rapidly eliminates amyloid-beta plaques, but causes plaque compensations: the explanation why the amyloid-beta cascade may fail?

Neural Regeneration Research, 2022
Neurodegenerative brain disorders are a major burden in our society, such as Alzheimer´s disease. In order to repair or prevent such diseases, drugs are designed which enter the brain, but the blood-brain barrier limits their entry and the search for ...

Mitochondrial β-amyloid in Alzheimer's disease

, 2011
This research is supported by Alzheimer's Research UK, the Wellcome Trust and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council.It is well established that the intracellular accumulation of beta-amyloid is associated with Alzheimer’s disease and

Pro-domain removal in ASP-2 and the cleavage of the amyloid precursor are influenced by pH.

, 2002
BACKGROUND: One of the signatures of Alzheimer's disease is the accumulation of aggregated amyloid protein, Abeta, in the brain. Abeta arises from cleavage of the Amyloid Precursor protein by beta and gamma secretases, which present attractive candidates
