Prof. Liu Cong from the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with collaborators, has revealed the high-resolution structures of amyloid fibrils directly ...

Researchers have developed a microscopy technique to visualize amyloid beta’s underlying structure, which could yield new insights into Alzheimer’s disease. As the prevalence of Alzheimer’s rises, ...

Images of amyloid aggregate plaques in brain tissue of a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease incubated with the antibody used in the study. On the left, image obtained with a confocal microscope. On ...

A team of researchers at Washington University in St. Louis in the Preston M. Green Department of Electrical and Systems Engineering, researchers have leveraged microscopy techniques to shed light on ...

Researchers use microscopy to chart amyloid beta's underlying structure and yield insight into neurodegenerative disease. Amyloid-beta (A-beta) aggregates are tangles of proteins most notably ...

Transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) is a rare, progressive and highly aggressive degenerative disease. It is caused by the ...

Amyloid beta is a peptide that plays a central role in the neurodegenerative pathology of Alzheimer’s disease by aggregating into plaques in the brain. U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved ...

Accumulation of amyloid-beta (A-beta) peptides inhibiting normal brain function is a characteristic aspect of neurodegenerative disease, but how A-beta comes together and breaks apart as it does the ...
