At most, we observed a slight astrocyte response using immunostaining with antibody against glia fibrillary acidic protein (data not shown). These data indicate that clearance of amyloid-β after ...

Recent studies implicate the immune system and a herpes virus as potential contributors to development of disease ...

A specific flavor of amyloid beta proteins fold in such a way that their edges are extra reactive, as seen in the bright areas of the above image. This means they more readily accumulate ...

Claudin-5 is a protein expressed (in red) in blood vessels of the brain. Stained in green is an amyloid plaque and it is evident that where there is amyloid deposited there is limited claudin-5.

There is a potential link between Alzheimer's disease and the herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1), which is a common cause for ...

A study published in 2022 revealed a tenuous but plausible link between picking your nose and increasing the risk of ...

There's still so much we don't know about Alzheimer's disease, but the link between poor sleep and worsening disease is one ...

Misfolded proteins (also called toxic conformations) are typically insoluble, and they tend to form long linear or fibrillar aggregates known as amyloid ... change to beta sheet structure and ...

The newest generation of Alzheimer's therapeutics targets accumulations of the protein amyloid beta with engineered antibodies, but the results have been underwhelming, with some adverse effects ...
