Amyloid plaques are clumps of proteins called beta-amyloids that are toxic to neurons and their synapses. They bind to LilrB2 receptors, increasing the effect of cofilin, an enzyme that destroys synapses. Along with neurofibrillary tangles, amyloid plaques are found in the brains of patients with...

Beta amyloid is an extracellular filamentous protein deposit found in the brain. It is the major protein component of amyloid cores and neuritic plaques and is also found as a deposit in neurofibrillary tangles. Beta-amyloid peptide (Abeta), the major constituent of amyloid plaques in the brains...
The relationship of longitudinal change in the ADCS-PACC to the presence of amyloid plaques in the brains of asymptomatic older individuals supports the notion that this measure may be useful in establishing favorable treatment effects. While much remains to be learned about preclinical AD, the ...
1b). This observation seems improbable because 6E10 detect not only dense core plaques but also diffuse plaques, while ThS can only label dense core plaques in the brain of APP/PSEN1-expressing mouse models13,14. In addition, we confirmed the possibility that truncated Aβ species appears to...

Amyloid β Peptide(1-42), a major component of amyloid plaques, accumulates in neurons of Alzheimer's disease brains. Biochemical analysis of the amyloid peptides isolated from Alzheimer's disease brain indicates that Aß(1-42) is the principal species associated with senile plaque amyloids, wh...
This peptide is well suited to the quantitative determination of A 42 peptide. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by the presence of extracellular plaques and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) in the brain. The major protein component of these plaques is beta amyloid peptide (A)...
