A team of researchers at Washington University in St. Louis in the Preston M. Green Department of Electrical and Systems Engineering, researchers have leveraged microscopy techniques to shed light on ...

Researchers reveal that amyloid beta displaces tau, causing the transport system inside nerve cells to start breaking down.

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, ...

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 ...

In the quest to cure Alzheimer's, the protein known as beta-amyloid has long taken center stage, driving development of a long list of drugs aimed at breaking up amyloid plaques in the brain.

New UC Riverside-led research suggests Alzheimer’s arises not simply from plaques forming in the brain, as is widely believed ...

After studying 140,000 versions of the Aβ42 peptide, scientists identified some of the earliest molecular interactions that drive the formation of harmful amyloid protein aggregates found in Alzheimer ...

Gut bacteria may hold key to protecting brain against Alzheimers - A bacteria best known for causing stomach ulcers could ...

Neuroscientists have made an exciting breakthrough in our understanding of Alzheimer's disease, which challenges what we thought we knew about neurodegeneration. The discovery offers new, promising ...
