Spectral correlation analysis of amyloid β plaque inhomogeneity from double staining experiments.
A spectral correlation algorithm for the analysis of hyperspectral fluorescence images is proposed by Ellingsen et al. [J. Biomed. Opt. 18, 020501 (2013)]. Here, it is applied to the analysis of double-stained Aβ amyloid plaques being related to the Alzheimer's disease (AD). Sections of APP/PS1 AD mice model brains are double stained with luminescent-conjugated oligothiophenes, known to bind to...
متن کاملImmune activation in amyloid-β-related angiitis correlates with decreased parenchymal amyloid-β plaque load.
BACKGROUND Primary angiitis of the central nervous system (PACNS) is a rare but serious condition. A fraction of patients suffering from PACNS concurrently exhibit pronounced cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) which is characterized by deposits of amyloid-β (Aβ) in and around the walls of small and medium-sized arteries of the brain. PACNS with CAA has been identified as a distinct disease entit...
متن کاملDevelopment of positron emission tomography β-amyloid plaque imaging agents.
For 100 years, β-amyloid (Aβ) plaques and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) have been recognized as the neuropathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and their presence or absence could only be assessed postmortem using stains and dyes that identified these microscopic structures. Approximately 10 years ago, the first successful Aβ plaque-specific positron emission tomography (PET) imag...
متن کاملAmyloid plaque structure and cell surface interactions of β-amyloid fibrils revealed by electron tomography
The deposition of amyloid fibrils as plaques is a key feature of several neurodegenerative diseases including in particular Alzheimer's. This disease is characterized, if not provoked, by amyloid aggregates formed from Aβ peptide that deposit inside the brain or are toxic to neuronal cells. We here used scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) to determine the fibril network structure a...
متن کاملStability of single and double layer fibrillar amyloid-β oligomers
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia world-wide. The causative agent in this protein misfolding disease is the 39 to 42-residues long amyloid-b (Ab) peptide, that aggregates into oligomers, filaments, and fibrils found in plaque deposits in the brain of AD patients [1]. Up to now a viable cure for this disease is still not available. One reason for this is Ab’s conformat...
