Oligomers mediate the spatial transmission of Aβ peptide aggregation

Communications 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 ...

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

Frontiers 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 ...

Systematic analysis of nucleation-dependent polymerization reveals new insights into the mechanism of amyloid self-assembly [PDF]

, 2008
Self-assembly of misfolded proteins into ordered fibrillar aggregates known as amyloid results in numerous human diseases. Despite an increasing number of proteins and peptide fragments being recognised as amyloidogenic, how these amyloid aggregates ...

The amyloid-beta wave hypothesis of Alzheimer’s disease

Frontiers 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 ...

All‐Amyloid Functional Coacervates

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces an all‐amyloid interfacial complex coacervate technique that employs charge‐mediated or functionalization‐assisted complexation of oppositely charged food protein‐derived amyloid nanofibrils to engineer functional soft constructs across multiple length scales.

Amyloid Alpha: The Neglected Cousin of Amyloid Beta

ChemBioChem
For decades, amyloid β (Aβ) has been the principal therapeutic target for therapies of Alzheimer's disease (AD). An alternative processing product, known as P3, may form if the amyloid precursor protein is cleaved by α‐secretase instead of β‐secretase.

β-microglobulin amyloid fibril-induced membrane disruption is enhanced by endosomal lipids and acidic pH [PDF]

, 2014
Although the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathology of amyloidoses are not well understood, the interaction between amyloid proteins and cell membranes is thought to play a role in several amyloid diseases. Amyloid fibrils of β-microglobulin (βm),
