Imaging of amyloid-β deposits in brains of living mice permits direct observation of clearance of plaques with immunotherapy
Figure 1: Imaging of amyloid-β deposits in the live mouse. Figure 3: In vivo imaging of amyloid-β deposits in 20-month-old homozygous PDAPP mice. Immunostaining with biotinylated or ...
Peristaltic pump flow: A potential trigger for amyloid protein aggregation
The factor that tips you over the edge from being at risk for a disease to actually developing the disease is not always ...
Cracking the Alzheimer's code: How brain trauma triggers a hallmark of the disease
A study at Lund University reveals that traumatic brain injury alters the small vessels in the brain, resulting in an accumulation of amyloid beta—a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. The findings ...

Researchers illuminate new structures of a critical amyloid protein
They also say that their graphene grid method could be used to determine the structures of other small and unstable proteins—including the amyloid-beta peptide that builds up in the brain in ...
Alzheimer's brain inflammation: Immune cells react differently to amyloid-beta, research suggests
Brain inflammation, while a crucial part of the body's immune response, takes on a detrimental role in Alzheimer's disease.
