Protein accumulations do important work in the human body, but something can go wrong and proliferate in those aggregates, ...

Scientists have identified a biomarker for Alzheimer's that may help doctors spot the early signs of protein buildup in the ...

The family of Serum Amyloid A (SAA) proteins consists of small, evolutionarily conserved acute-phase proteins with important roles in inflammation, immunity, and lipid metabolism (1). SAA proteins ...

"This research shows beyond doubt that organic biomolecules, such as proteins like collagen, appear to be present in some fossils," says University of Liverpool materials scientist Steve Taylor. "Our ...

AD neuropathology is due to the progressive deposition of extracellular amyloid-beta (Aβ) peptide and intracellular hyperphosphorylated tau protein. The accumulated Aβ forms amyloid plaques, while the ...

Researchers found that mutations in the PSEN1 gene disrupt how the γ-secretase enzyme trims amyloid precursor protein (APP), leading to the accumulation of harmful intermediates. This discovery shifts ...
