1. Membrane mediated aggregation of amyloid-β protein : a potential key event in Alzheimer's disease
Sammanfattning : The pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the most common senile dementia, is a complex process. A crucial event in AD is the aggregation of amyloid-β protein (Aβ), a cleavage product from the Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP). LÄS MER
2. Amyloid β peptide: from monomer solubility to fibril structure
Sammanfattning : Alzheimer´s disease (AD) is the most common human neuro-degenerative disease characterized by the formation of cerebral plaques. Several are the amyloid-beta (Aβ) variants found in the brain of healthy individuals. LÄS MER
3. On the molecular mechanisms of the amyloid β-peptide aggregation
Sammanfattning : The pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease is widely believed to be due to production and deposition of the amyloid β-peptide. Several variants of the Aβ peptide are known to exist in in vivo. Variations include mutations or additional functional groups attached to residue side chains and may affect the aggregation process.

4. The future of clinical trials for Alzheimer's disease. A blood-based biomarker perspective
Sammanfattning : Objectives: The primary objective was to investigate the utility of blood-basedbiomarkers of amyloid, tau, and neurodegeneration for (i) screening, (ii)enrichment, and (iii) tracking response to treatment in clinical trials of Alzheimer’sdisease.Methods: Longitudinal, participant-level data used in these studies was drawn fromthe Swedish BioFINDER study and the ADNI study.

5. Molecular studies of the γ-secretase complex : focus on genetic and pharmacological modulation
Sammanfattning : γ-Secretase is a multi-subunit protease complex, composed of presenilin (PS1 or PS2), Nicastrin, Pen-2 and Aph-1, which generates the Alzheimer disease (AD) related 30-43 amino acid long amyloid β-peptide (Aβ). The complex is also crucial for important cell signaling, such as the Notch receptor pathway. LÄS MER
