Establishing the links between Aβ aggregation and cytotoxicity in vitro using biophysical approaches

Hilal Lashuel, Mohammad Asad Jan Qureshi

Aggregation and fibril formation of the amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The missing links on the pathway to Aβ oligomerization, fibril formation, and neurotoxicity in AD remain the identity of th ...

Discovery and Structure Activity Relationship of Small Molecule Inhibitors of Toxic β-Amyloid-42 Fibril Formation

Hilal Lashuel, Andrea Pfeifer, Annalisa Ansaloni, Mohammad Asad Jan Qureshi, Andreas Muhs, Magdalena Zweckstetter, Paolo Paganetti

Increasing evidence implicates Aβ peptides self-assembly and fibril formation as crucial events in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer disease. Thus, inhibiting Aβ aggregation, among others, has emerged as a potential therapeutic intervention for this disorder. ...

Nucleation Dependent Polymerization of Amyloid-ß (Aß) as an Important Determinant of Aß Amyloid Formation and Neurotoxicity : Implications for the Pathogenesis of Alzheimer's Disease and Design of Therapies

Mohammad Asad Jan Qureshi

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 ...

Preparation and characterization of toxic Abeta aggregates for structural and functional studies in Alzheimer's disease research

Hilal Lashuel, Mohammad Asad Jan Qureshi

The amyloid cascade hypothesis, supported by strong evidence from genetics, pathology and studies using animal models, implicates amyloid-beta (Abeta) oligomerization and fibrillogenesis as central causative events in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's diseas ...
