ADDL-binding and toxicity assays in hippocampal cultures were performed and analyzed by PNL, and Tau phosphorylation analysis done by ND, EYF and MAS. Adenovirus transfection of cortical neurons was performed by JM. GHS, PNL, MAS, JM and CDL prepared the manuscript. All authors have read and approved the final manuscript.

Does Long-Term Administration of a Beta-Blocker (Timolol) Induce Fibril-Based Cataract Formation In-vivo?

Timolol is a non-selective beta-adrenergic receptor antagonist administered for treating glaucoma, heart attacks and hypertension. In the present study, we set out to determine whether or not timolol can provoke cataract formation, thus the influence of timolol on the amyloid-type aggregation of crystallin was investigated. We then provided experimental evidence of crystallin aggregation and it...

Formation and Growth of Oligomers: A Monte Carlo Study of an Amyloid Tau Fragment

Small oligomers formed early in the process of amyloid fibril formation may be the major toxic species in Alzheimer's disease. We investigate the early stages of amyloid aggregation for the tau fragment AcPHF6 (Ac-VQIVYK-NH2) using an implicit solvent all-atom model and extensive Monte Carlo simulations of 12, 24, and 36 chains. A variety of small metastable aggregates form and dissolve until a...

Anti-amyloidogenic and disaggregating effects of Salvia officinalis in vitro: a strategy to reduce the insulin amyloid fibrils due to repeated subcutaneous injections in diabetic patients

Background: Recently, there has been growing efforts to elucidate the molecular mechanism of amyloid formation and investigating effective compounds for inhibiting of amyloid structures. Investigation of the fibrillation process through its induction and inhibition using specific compounds such as aromatic derivatives provide useful information for stabilizing the protein structure. In the pres...

Inhibitory Effect of Cinnamomum Zeylanicum and Camellia Sinensis Extracts on the Hen EggWhite Lysozyme Fibrillation

Background & Aims: Many neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson and Huntington diseases are associated with the deposition proteinaceous aggregates known as amyloid fibrils. Currently, there is no approved therapeutic agent for inhibition of fibrillar assemblies. One important approach in the development of therapeutic agents is the use of herbal extracts. At the present com...
