Researchers say the hormone dopamine may be used as a treatment for Alzheimer's disease as it stimulates the production of an enzyme known to break down beta-amyloid via a mouse model.

Islet amyloid is found in many patients with type 2 diabetes, but numerous other forms of amyloidosis are very rare. 9 Although the causes of amyloid-associated diseases vary, and amyloidogenic ...

This engineered amyloid beta vaccine, which the team have called TAPAS, was tested on mouse models of Alzheimer's disease, with the rodents indeed generating the associated antibodies in response.

"Instead of just detecting the fibers, this [dye] is perhaps telling us something about the dynamics" of protein aggregation, he added.Amyloid-staining dyes like Congo red and Thioflavin T (ThT) are ...

A new study from Chinese and Canadian scientists shows that amyloid beta proteins produced in other parts of the body can in fact cross into the brain and contribute to Alzheimer's-like symptoms.

Could amyloid-beta fibrils—which form the hallmark plaques of Alzheimer’s disease (AD)—actually protect the brain? That intriguing possibility caught scientists’ attention last year when Lawrence ...

When the researchers removed Vangl2 from neurons, amyloid beta could no longer degrade synapses in cells or mouse models, they reported. They also blocked a regulator of the protein pathway called ...
