   Keywords : Alzheimer’s disease AD ; amyloids; FRET; tau; MAPT; fibrillation kinetics; seeding; fusion protein; EGFP; ECFP; EYFP; ThT; X-34; BTD14;

   Abstract : Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a large and growing problem and while we today lack a full understanding of this disease, we know that the protein tau and the amyloid fibrils it forms play a central role in its development. We also know that these fibrils can have different morphologies in different diseases and that fibrils produced in vitro not necessarily adopt any of the morphologies found in patients. READ MORE

3. 2. Studies of Aβ aggregation, toxicity and cellular uptake

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry

   Author : Chiara Beretta; [2016]
   Keywords : Alzheimer’s disease; amyloid-beta; fluorescence; cellular uptake; labeling;

   Abstract : Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common type of dementia observed in the elderly. The symptoms of the disease are provoked by neuronal loss caused by neurofibrillary tangles and amyloid plaques. The molecular processes that underlie AD’s pathology are at this day not well understood. READ MORE
