A hydrogel biosensor for high selective and sensitive detection of amyloid-beta oligomers
Background Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive cognitive and memory impairment. It is the most common neurological disease that causes dementia. Soluble amyloid-beta oligomers (AβO) in blood or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) are the pathogenic biomarker correlated with AD. Methods A simple electrochemical biosensor using graphene oxide/gold nanopar...
متن کاملStructure-Toxicity Relationships of Amyloid Peptide Oligomers
The accumulation of misfolded proteins as insoluble, fibrillar aggregates is characteristic of several degenerative diseases. Examples include the proteins involved in amyloid diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (Aβ) (Glenner and Wong 1984), type II diabetes (amylin) (Cooper et al. 1987) and Parkinson’s disease (α-synuclein) (Spillantini et al. 1997), as well as the mammalian prion diseases (P...
متن کاملSelective Amyloid-\(\beta\) Lowering Agents
The amyloid-β peptide (Aβ), implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), is produced through sequential proteolysis of the Aβ precursor protein (APP) by βand γ-secretases. Thus, blocking either of these two proteases, directly or indirectly, is potentially worthwhile toward developing AD therapeutics. β-Secretase is a membrane-tethered pepsin-like aspartyl protease suitable for s...
متن کاملAmyloid beta oligomers induce impairment of neuronal insulin receptors.
Recent studies have indicated an association between Alzheimer's disease (AD) and central nervous system (CNS) insulin resistance. However, the cellular mechanisms underlying the link between these two pathologies have not been elucidated. Here we show that signal transduction by neuronal insulin receptors (IR) is strikingly sensitive to disruption by soluble Abeta oligomers (also known as ADDL...
متن کاملNeurochemical Effects of Amyloid-Beta Oligomers in Rats
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by memory loss and cognitive decline. Although the symptomology of Alzheimer's disease is well defined, its precise etiology remains elusive. Animal models are invaluable for understanding the pathogenesis of this devastating disease. Knowledge of the neurochemical actions of amyloid-β oligomers in specific brain struc...
