Unweaving amyloid fibers to solve prion puzzles
Amyloid fibers are best known as the plaque that gunks up neurons in people with neurodegenerative illnesses such as Alzheimer's and Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease--the human analog of mad cow disease. But even though amyloids are common and implicated in a host of conditions, researchers haven't been able to identify their precise molecular structures. Conventional techniques used to image proteins,...ProteinChip beta-amyloid multipeptide detection Kit from Ciphergen

Following demonstration of transmission of senile amyloidosis to offspring from affected mice, concerns about spread of the disease from mother to child// have been raised. Details about the scientific study 'Transmission of amyloidosis in offspring of mice with AApoAII amyloidosis,' by Korenaga et al., can be cited in the March issue of the American Journal of Pathology. Dementia can...Discovery of Elevated Amyloid Peptide levels could lead to Alzheimer’s Preventio
A faulty molecule, identified in the brain of patients suffering from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) could be responsible for the progression of MCI to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) dementia//, according to a recent study published in the journal of Neurobiology of Aging. Researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine have indicated that the onset of (AD) dementia may be delayed by eliminati...
