Open AccessAltered amyloid-β structure markedly reduces gliosis in the brain of mice harboring the Uppsala APP deletion
Deposition of amyloid beta (Aβ) into plaques is a major hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Different amyloid precursor protein (APP) mutations cause early-onset AD by altering the production or aggregation pro...

Open AccessLong-term effects of immunotherapy with a brain penetrating Aβ antibody in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease
Brain-directed immunotherapy is a promising strategy to target amyloid-β (Aβ) deposits in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In the present study, we compared the therapeutic efficacy of the Aβ protofibril targeting an...

Open AccessBlood–brain barrier penetrating neprilysin degrades monomeric amyloid-beta in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease
Aggregation of the amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide in the brain is one of the key pathological events in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Reducing Aβ levels in the brain by enhancing its degradation is one possible strategy t...

Open AccessA Brain-Targeting Bispecific-Multivalent Antibody Clears Soluble Amyloid-Beta Aggregates in Alzheimer’s Disease Mice
Amyloid-β (Aβ) oligomers and protofibrils are suggested to be the most neurotoxic Aβ species in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Hence, antibodies with strong and selective binding to these soluble Aβ aggregates are ...

Open AccessNovel multivalent design of a monoclonal antibody improves binding strength to soluble aggregates of amyloid beta
Amyloid-β (Aβ) immunotherapy is a promising therapeutic strategy in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease (AD). A number of monoclonal antibodies have entered clinical trials for AD. Some of them have failed d...

Open AccessEfficient clearance of Aβ protofibrils in AβPP-transgenic mice treated with a brain-penetrating bifunctional antibody
Amyloid-β (Aβ) immunotherapy is one of the most promising disease-modifying strategies for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Despite recent progress targeting aggregated forms of Aβ, low antibody brain penetrance rema...
