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 ...
Parkinson disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer disease (AD). There is considerable consensus that the increased production and/or aggregation of alpha-synuclein (alpha-syn) plays a central role in the pathogenes ...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disease in the elderly population. AD currently affects approximately 27 million people worldwide. A pathological hallmark of AD is the accumulation and deposition of the amyloid beta (Aβ) pe ...
Molecular probes for selective Identification of protein aggregates are important to advance our understanding of the molecular pathogenesis underlying cerebral amyloidoses. Here we report the chemical design of pentameric thiophene derivatives, denoted lu ...
The causes of sporadic Alzheimer's Disease (AD), the most common form of dementia at old age, are still unknown. Familial early onset AD (FAD) is mainly caused by mutations of Presenilins (PS), the active subunits of γ-secretase. Processing of its substrat ...
We have generated a novel transgenic mouse model on a C57BL/ 6J genetic background that coexpresses KM670/ 671NL mutated amyloid precursor protein and L166P mutated presenilin 1 under the control of a neuron- specific Thy1 promoter element ( APPPS1 mice). ...
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with clinical manifestations appearing in old age, however, the initial stages of this disease may begin early in life. AD is characterized by the presence of excessive deposits of aggreg ...

In Alzheimer's disease, microglia cluster around beta-amyloid deposits, suggesting that these cells are important for amyloid plaque formation, maintenance and/or clearance. We crossed two distinct APP transgenic mouse strains with CD11b-HSVTK mice, in whi ...
Incorrect folding of proteins, leading to aggregation and amyloid formation, is associated with a group of degenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease and late onset diabetes. Amyloid forming proteins are believed to be mainly α-helical in their na ...
