Amyloid beta peptide (Aβ) is produced through the proteolytic processing of a transmembrane protein, amyloid precursor protein (APP), by β- and γ-secretases. Aβ accumulation in the brain is proposed ...

If you like thinking of amyloid precursor processing in Boolean logic terms, that is α- or β-secretase cleavage, then you may want to expand your logic board to include an “and.” Using mass ...

Researchers at Brown University and the Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole, Mass., have found a physical connection between the herpes simplex virus and amyloid precursor protein, a protein ...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that causes progressive memory loss and a significant decline in ...

A new study strengthens the idea that reelin, an extracellular matrix protein essential for brain development, works, at least in part, by binding amyloid precursor protein (APP). In the June 10 ...

There are many unknowns around the causes of Alzheimer's, but one of the leading suspects is amyloid beta plaques. These form from amyloid peptides, and while some see these biomarkers as a chance to ...

(A, B) ALP staining and activity detection were performed after treating cells with APPswe or BMP2 for 5 days or 7 days. (C, D) ARS staining and semiquantitative analysis were used to detect calcium ...

Alzheimer's disease often begins many years before memory problems appear. During that silent phase, toxic changes slowly build inside the brain. For decades, scientists focused mostly on amyloid ...
