Background: Beside neurofibrillary tangles, amyloid plaques are the major histological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD) being composed of aggregated fibrils of beta-amyloid (A beta). During the underlying fibrillogenic pathway, starting from a surplus ...
Today, more than 40 million people worldwide are affected by neurodegenerative disorders. Onset of these diseases is associated with insoluble fibrillar protein aggregates, termed amyloids. The molecular origin and the link between amyloid formation and di ...
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder which severely impairs cognitive functions by triggering neuronal cell death and synaptic loss, and finally leads the patients to death. Two main histopathological hallmarks can be found ...
Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) serve as molecular switches for regulating protein folding, function, and interactome and have been implicated in the misfolding and amyloid formation by several proteins linked to neurodegenerative diseases, includin ...
In vitro studies of Alzheimer’s disease are based on homogenously seeded neural cells. These studies reveal molecular pathway mechanism related to neurite degeneration, but they cannot analyze interactions between diseased and healthy cells. Furthermore, t ...
This communication presents a novel experi- mental model for Alzheimer studies, where connected pri- mary neurons were set into subtend, co-pathological states. Cortical neurons were cultured in two separated cell com- partments in a microfluidic device. A ...
Hyperphosphorylated tau makes up the filamentous intracellular inclusions of several neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease(1). In the disease process, neuronal tau inclusions first appear in the transentorhinal cortex from where they se ...
Aggregation and fibril formation of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Aβ peptides, principally comprising of 40 or 42 amino acid residues (Aβ40 and Aβ42), are produced by proteolytic processing of ...
Strong epidemiologic evidence suggests an association between Alzheimer disease (AD) and type 2 diabetes. To determine if amyloid beta (Aβ) and hyperphosphorylated tau occurs in type 2 diabetes, pancreas tissues from 21 autopsy cases (10 type 2 diabe ...
Alzheimer's disease is the most prevalent tauopathy and cause of dementia. We investigate the hypothesis that reactivation of plasticity can restore function in the presence of neuronal damage resulting from tauopathy. We investigated two models with tau h ...
