Journal ArticleDOI

Defeating Alzheimer's disease and other dementias: a priority for European science and society

TL;DR: This poster aims to demonstrate the efforts towards in-situ applicability of EMMARM, which aims to provide real-time information about the physical and cognitive properties of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias.
Journal ArticleDOI

Arrest of beta-amyloid fibril formation by a pentapeptide ligand.

TL;DR: It is shown that peptides incorporating a short Aβ fragment (KLVFF; Aβ) can bind full-length Aβ and prevent its assembly into amyloid fibrils and suggested that residues Aβ serve as a binding sequence during Aβ polymerization and fibril formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relative abundance of Alzheimer A beta amyloid peptide variants in Alzheimer disease and normal aging.

TL;DR: The relative abundance of A beta structural variants present in amyloid from brains of 10 individuals with sporadic AD, 2 individuals with familial AD carrying specific mutations in the Alzheimer isyloid precursor protein gene, and 5 nondemented elderly controls is determined.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Molecular Model of Alzheimer Amyloid β-Peptide Fibril Formation

TL;DR: It is proposed that this decapeptide sequence forms the core of Aβ-fibrils, with the hydrophobic C terminus folding over this core, and the identification of this fundamental sequence and the implied molecular model could facilitate the design of potential inhibitors of amyloidogenesis.
