Serum Amyloid P prevents renal fibrosis by Matt S. Posted Fri 06 Nov 2009 12:00am Congratulations to my colleague at the Brigham, Jeremy Duffield, who made the cover of Science this week for demonstrating human Serum Amyloid P (hSAP... 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 Read on »

Reduction of Bleomycin-Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis by Serum Amyloid P by Jan Posted Wed 24 Nov 2010 8:45pm . We previously found that a plasma protein called serum amyloid P (SAP) inhibits fibrocyte differentiation in vitro. Bleomycin treatment is a standard model for pulmonary Read on »

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 »

Alzheimer's-causing Amyloid and Bacteria Trigger Same Immune Response in the Brain by Cheryl Patient Expert

Posted Mon 27 Jul 2009 11:53pm *Can anyone say gut/brain link?* ~Cher Amyloid plaques, bacteria biofilm both cause inflammation that destroys neurons (HealthNewsDigest.com) - SACRAMENTO, Calif. — In a new study published today in the July issue of the journal Cell Host & Microbe, UC Davis researchers report that both amyloid plaques found in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients Read on »

Beta-Amyloid PET Imaging Agents by nih.gov Posted Sun 13 Jun 2010 5:00pm -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... novel derivatives of imidazopyridinylbenzeneamine (IMPY) and benzothizolylbenzeneamine (BTA), which demonstrate high in vitro binding affinity to human 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...... By Bob DeMarco Alzheimer's Reading Room Read on »

Medivation Dimebolin (Dimebon) Increases Brain Beta Amyloid in Alzheimer's Models by Bob DeMarco Patient Expert

Posted Wed 15 Jul 2009 6:56pm 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. Or, the effects of dimebolin on other brain systems may override its effect on increasing beta amyloid. Finally, the drug's beneficial actions might have nothing to do with amyloid, which 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 »
