Curcumin decreases amyloid beta-peptide levels by attenuating the maturation of amyloid-beta precursor protein by Bob DeMarco Patient Expert Posted Wed 28 Jul 2010 10:17am for the effective treatment and prevention of AD-related β-amyloid pathology. Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease with no cure. The pathogenesis of AD is believed to be primarily driven by Abeta, the principal component of senile plaques. Abeta is an ~4 kDa peptide generated via cleavage of the amyloid-beta Read on »
Serum Amyloid P prevents renal fibrosis by Matt S. Posted Fri 06 Nov 2009 12:00am clinically to identify sites of amyloid deposition in systemic amyloidosis. In the studies, hSAP was given to mice with either unilateral ureteric obstruction or unilateral ischemia... Congratulations to my colleague at the Brigham, Jeremy Duffield, who made the cover of Science this week for demonstrating human Serum Amyloid P (hSAP Read on »
Alzheimer's-causing Amyloid and Bacteria Trigger Same Immune Response in the Brain by Cheryl Patient Expert Posted Mon 27 Jul 2009 11:53pm , secondary amyloidosis and prion diseases, like Creutzfeldt-Jakob (the human form of mad cow disease). These diseases all involve marked inflammation at the sites of amyloid deposition, resulting in tissue injury. The protein forming plaques in Alzheimer’s patients is normally soluble. When the protein folds improperly, it forms amyloid deposits Read on »
Beta-Amyloid PET Imaging Agents by nih.gov Posted Sun 13 Jun 2010 5:00pm ) a new method of synthesizing the IMPY derivatives, using palladium as a catalyst, 2) methods of imaging beta-amyloid deposits in the brain by in vivo PET, magnetic resonance...-amyloid peptides and plaques in humans. Beta-amyloid peptide deposition in the brain is a pathological feature of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Early detection of beta-amyloid Read on »
Beta-Amyloid and Alzheimer's by Krista H. Posted Thu 13 Aug 2009 7:51pm I was reading an article online that talks about the Alzheimer's-related protein known as beta-amyloid. Beta-amyloid is best known as the sticky goo that makes up the hallmark plaques inside the brains of Alzheimer's victims. But it doesn't start out as gunk. Soluble forms are found in the fluid that bathes the brain, although scientists don't Read on »
Alzheimer’s Memory Problems Originate with Protein Clumps Floating in the Brain, Not Amyloid Plaques by Bob DeMarco Patient Expert Posted Thu 29 Apr 2010 5:29pm Researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine have found that Alzheimer’s is not caused by amyloid plaques, as previously thought by many researchers......

Medivation Dimebolin (Dimebon) Increases Brain Beta Amyloid in Alzheimer's Models by Bob DeMarco Patient Expert Posted Wed 15 Jul 2009 6:56pm to Alzheimer's disease. Beta amyloid is a protein that is the main constituent of amyloid plaques found in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease. It is widely considered a key... dimebolin affects beta amyloid levels in the brain." "A number of ideas need to be pursued. It may turn out that the drug works by getting toxic amyloid out of brain nerve cells Read on »
Use of Amyloid Proteins as Vaccine Scaffolds by nih.gov Posted Sun 13 Jun 2010 5:00pm Description of Invention: Amyloid proteins are composed of peptides whose chemical properties are such that they spontaneously aggregate in vitro or in vivo, assuming parallel or antiparallel beta sheet configurations. Amyloid proteins can arise from peptides which, though differing in primary amino acid sequences, assume the same Read on »
Beta-Amyloid Clearance from Brain May Underly Alzheimer’s Disease by MedNews Patient Expert Posted Thu 09 Dec 2010 2:36pm of dementia in older adults, and affects as many as 5.1 million Americans. In Alzheimer’s disease, a protein fragment called beta-amyloid accumulates at abnormally high levels...’s disease, beta-amyloid is produced in the brain at a normal rate but is not cleared, or removed from the brain, efficiently. In addition to improving the understanding of what Read on »
