High molecular mass assemblies of amyloid-b oligomers bind prion protein in patients with Alzheimer’s disease
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia and the generation of oligomeric species of amyloid-b is causal to the initiation and progression of it. Amyloid-b oligomers bind to the N-terminus of plasma membrane-bound cellular prion protein (PrP) initiating a series of events leading to synaptic degeneration. Composition of bound amyloid-b oligomers, binding regions within PrP, bindi...

Genetic and environmental factors that increase the risk of late-onset Alzheimer disease are now well recognized but the cause of variable progression rates and phenotypes of sporadic Alzheimer’s disease is largely unknown. We aimed to investigate the relationship between diverse structural assemblies of amyloid-b and rates of clinical decline in Alzheimer’s disease. Using novel biophysical met...

Recent studies suggest that subcortical structures, including striatum, are vulnerable to amyloid-b accumulation and other neuropathological features in familial Alzheimer’s disease due to autosomal dominant mutations. We explored differences between familial and sporadic Alzheimer’s disease that might shed light on their respective pathogenic mechanisms. To this end, we analysed 12 brain regio...
متن کاملA subcutaneous cellular implant for passive immunization against amyloid-b reduces brain amyloid and tau pathologies
Passive immunization against misfolded toxic proteins is a promising approach to treat neurodegenerative disorders. For effective immunotherapy against Alzheimer’s disease, recent clinical data indicate that monoclonal antibodies directed against the amyloid-b peptide should be administered before the onset of symptoms associated with irreversible brain damage. It is therefore critical to devel...
متن کاملFirst effects of rising amyloid-b in transgenic mouse brain: synaptic transmission and gene expression
Detecting and treating Alzheimer’s disease, before cognitive deficits occur, has become the health challenge of our time. The earliest known event in Alzheimer’s disease is rising amyloid-b. Previous studies have suggested that effects on synaptic transmission may precede plaque deposition. Here we report how relative levels of different soluble amyloid-b peptides in hippocampus, preceding plaq...
