The paper T. Liu et al., “The amyloid precursor protein is a conserved Wnt receptor,” eLife, 10:e69199, 2021. Amyloid precursor protein, which generates amyloid-β when broken down, has long been ...

Alzheimer's amyloid precursor protein 695 (APP) is a plasma membrane protein, which is known to be the source of the toxic amyloid β (Aβ) peptide associated with the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's ...

Amyloid precursor protein (APP) secretase plays a pivotal role in the processing of APP since its activity precludes the formation of amyloid peptide in Alzheimer's Disease. The identity and the ...

Researchers at the University of California, Irvine, have uncovered an unexpected molecular partnership that reshapes scientists' understanding of how brain inflammation arises in Alzheimer's disease.

A Purdue University doctoral researcher, Oluwatosin Maryam Adeyemo, has been awarded the National Institutes of Health (NIH) T32 Research Fellowship for her work seeking to better understand Alzheimer ...

Researchers at the University of California, Irvine, have uncovered an unexpected molecular partnership that reshapes scientists’ understanding of how brain inflammation arises in Alzheimer’s disease.

Heather Rice can recall a moment early in her career that helped shape how she thinks about Alzheimer’s disease. It happened when she was a zoology major at the University of Oklahoma in 2007, after ...

Researchers found that melting soft tau protein precursors before they form harmful fibrils could shift Alzheimer's treatment ...

Previous research has implicated fungi in chronic neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, but there is limited understanding of how these common microbes could be involved in the ...
