Amyloid beta peptide (Aβ) is produced through the proteolytic processing of a transmembrane protein, amyloid precursor protein (APP), by β- and γ-secretases. Aβ accumulation in the brain is proposed ...

If you like thinking of amyloid precursor processing in Boolean logic terms, that is α- or β-secretase cleavage, then you may want to expand your logic board to include an “and.” Using mass ...

Researchers at Brown University and the Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole, Mass., have found a physical connection between the herpes simplex virus and amyloid precursor protein, a protein ...

It's been 30 or so years since amyloid beta precursor protein (APP) was first pinpointed as the precursor of the amyloid beta (AB) peptide that is the main constituent of plaques found in the brains ...

A new study strengthens the idea that reelin, an extracellular matrix protein essential for brain development, works, at least in part, by binding amyloid precursor protein (APP). In the June 10 ...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that causes progressive memory loss and a significant decline in mental functions. Past studies have shown that people with AD exhibit a buildup ...
