    Cryo-EM of Aβ fibrils from mouse models find tg-APPArcSwe fibrils resemble those found in patients with sporadic Alzheimer’s disease

    The use of transgenic mice displaying amyloid-β (Aβ) brain pathology has been essential for the preclinical assessment of new treatment strategies for Alzheimer’s disease. However, the properties of Aβ in such...

    Conformational heterogeneity coupled with β-fibril formation of a scaffold protein involved in chronic mental illnesses

    Chronic mental illnesses (CMIs) pose a significant challenge to global health due to their complex and poorly understood etiologies and hence, absence of causal therapies. Research of the past two decades has ...

    Endo-lysosomal Aβ concentration and pH trigger formation of Aβ oligomers that potently induce Tau missorting

    Amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) forms metastable oligomers >50 kDa, termed AβOs, that are more effective than Aβ amyloid fibrils at triggering Alzheimer’s disease-related processes such as synaptic dysfunction and Tau ...
