Amyloid oligomers as on-pathway precursors or off-pathway competitors of fibrils
Amyloid Diseases involve the growth of disease specific proteins into amyloid fibrils and their deposition in protein plaques. Amyloid fibril formation is typically preceded by oligomeric intermediates.

Reactions of a trans-diamminediaquaplatinum(II) complex with L-cysteine
The reaction of a trans-diamminediaquaplatinum(II) complex, trans-[Pt(15NH3)2(H2O)2]2+ (1), and L-cysteine (R–SH) has been performed to confirm the formation of the products in the solution.

Synaptic Disruption by Soluble Oligomers in Patients with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Disease
Neurodegenerative diseases are the result of progressive dysfunction of the neuronal activity and subsequent neuronal death. Currently, the most prevalent neurodegenerative diseases are by far Alzheimer’s (AD) and Parkinson’s (PD) disease, affecting ...

Oligomeric assembly of Amyloid-β (Aβ) is the main toxic species that contribute to early cognitive impairment in Alzheimer’s patients. Therefore, drugs that reduce the formation of Aβ oligomers could halt the disease progression.

Extracellular Alpha-Synuclein: Mechanisms for Glial Cell Internalization and Activation
Alpha-synuclein (α-syn) is a small protein composed of 140 amino acids and belongs to the group of intrinsically disordered proteins. It is a soluble protein that is highly expressed in neurons and expressed at low levels in glial cells.

Neuropathology of the Alzheimer's continuum: an update
Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the most common form of dementia worldwide, is a mixed proteinopathy (amyloid and tau). Originally defined as a clinicopathological entity, it is a heterogenous, multifactorial disorder, currently referred to as the Alzheimer’s ...

The elusive nature and diagnostics of misfolded Aβ oligomers.
Amyloid-beta (Aβ) peptide oligomers are believed to be the causative agents of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Though post-mortem examination shows that insoluble fibrils are deposited in the brains of AD patients in the form of intracellular (tangles) and ...

The HSP40 chaperone Ydj1 drives amyloid beta 42 toxicity
Amyloid beta 42 (Abeta42) is the principal trigger of neurodegeneration during Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, the etiology of its noxious cellular effects remains elusive.
