Northwestern researchers made progress on new biochemical possibilities this week, in both the human brain and everyday ...

Many clinical trials aimed at reducing amyloid beta or preventing its buildup have ... 1 gene affect the entire protein processing pathway. They focused on six additional mutations known to ...

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia and the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. It ...

Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have found a critical role for the physical interfaces of these of amyloid beta peptides in determining the chemical dynamics of their assemblies ...

Amyloid β protein (Aβ) deposition in the brain is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The fibrillar form of Aβ is neurotoxic, although the mechanism of its toxicity is unknown. We showed th ...
