Amyloid-beta (A-beta) aggregates are tangles of proteins most notably associated with neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. Despite its constant stint in the limelight, however, researchers ...

Researchers have achieved a significant breakthrough by elucidating the structure of amyloid beta bound to glycolipids on the surface of nerve cells. This finding shed light on the critical role of ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Amyloid-β (Aβ) fibrils exhibit self-propagating, molecular-level polymorphisms that may contribute to variations in clinical and pathological ...

A new imaging technique developed by engineers at Washington University in St. Louis can give scientists a much closer look at fibril assemblies, stacks of peptides like amyloid beta, most notably ...

Amyloid fibrils appear in many neurodegenerative diseases, and scientists are eager to understand how they form and spread. But amyloids—clumped aggregations of misfolded proteins—can be difficult to ...

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, ...

Researchers described the structure of a special type of amyloid beta plaque protein associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) progression. Scientists showed the small aggregates of the amyloid beta ...
