Amyloid plaques - Wikipedia
Amyloid plaques (also known as neuritic plaques, amyloid beta plaques or senile plaques) are extracellular deposits of amyloid beta (Aβ) protein that present mainly in the grey matter of the brain. [1][2][3][4] Degenerative neuronal elements and an abundance of microglia and astrocytes can be associated with amyloid plaques.
Mayo Clinic Researchers Find Way to Prevent Accumulation of …
2016年3月31日 · JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Mayo Clinic researchers led a laboratory study that found a new way to prevent the accumulation of amyloid plaque – a key feature of Alzheimer’s disease – by eliminating a class of molecules called heparan sulfates that form on brain cells.
Amyloid structure linked to different types of Alzheimer’s disease
2022年6月2日 · Cutting edge imaging shows that the amyloid fibers in plaques, a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease, have different molecular structures. NIA-supported research published in Science shows new, high-resolution images of the molecular pieces, called filaments, which make up amyloid plaques in different types of Alzheimer’s and in other ...
Extracellular protein components of amyloid plaques and their …
The amyloid plaques can activate the cellular defense and inflammation, mainly microglia but also astrocytes [339–341], that can bind to amyloid through various cell surface receptors e.g., Toll-like receptors (TLRs), scavenger receptors such as CD36 and TREM2 [342–345]. The plaques can then be phagocytosed with the lysosomal degradation ...
Homeostatic microglia initially seed and activated microglia later ...
2024年12月5日 · Using a genetic and a pharmacological approach we demonstrate that depletion of microglia before amyloid-β (Aβ) plaque deposition, leads to a reduction in plaque numbers and neuritic dystrophy,...
Microglia and amyloid plaque formation in Alzheimer's disease ...
2024年5月15日 · As such, microglia play a major role in formation of amyloid beta (Aβ) plaques, the major pathological hallmark of AD. This review aims to provide an overview of the current knowledge regarding the role of microglia in Aβ plaque formation, as well as their impact on morphological and functional diversity of Aβ plaques.

This review aims to provide an overview of the current knowledge regarding the role of microglia in Aβ plaque formation, as well as their impact on morphological and functional diversity of Aβ plaques.
β-Amyloid peptides and amyloid plaques in Alzheimer's disease
While Aβ is generated from its precursor protein throughout life, the peptide is best known as the main component of amyloid plaques, the neuropathological hallmark of AD. Reduction in Aβ has been the major target of recent experimental therapies against AD.
Nanoscale structure of amyloid-β plaques in Alzheimer’s disease
2019年3月26日 · The obtained nanoscale architecture of human amyloid plaques reveals a dense core with a peripheral halo and we provide evidence of higher levels of non-fibrillar Aβ species in ADAD compared to...
Illuminating the structure of amyloid plaques
2018年2月6日 · Amyloid fibrils are aggregates of the peptide beta-amyloid that form plaques associated with neurological decline found in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s. Using spectral analysis tools, scientists then used fluorescent light to track and mark the molecular and chemical composition of the LCOs, which, when bound to the beta-amyloid ...
