Fragments of amyloid-β precursor protein (APP) previously associated with Alzheimer disease pathology are present at dramatically higher levels in the brains of young, perfectly normal adults...
The relatively recent realization that neurogenesis is alive and kicking in the adult hippocampus has scientists wondering if the phenomenon can be exploited...
Fundamental knowledge gaps in Alzheimer disease research include a clear grasp of the normal role of the amyloid precursor protein (APP), and the molecular basis for the increased risk for AD as people age...
On the one hand, research studies have amassed a laundry list of factors that influence experimental amyloid deposition in mouse models of amyloidosis...
Using a new optogenetic model for TDP-43 phase transitions, scientists see the protein aggregate outside, not inside stress granules. The model distinguishes physiological from abnormal phase transition.
