Why some memories persist while others vanish has fascinated scientists for more than a century. Now, new research from the ...

Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a condition where protein (called amyloid) builds up in the brain, making blood vessels weak. People with CAA are four times more likely to develop dementia within ...

Transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) is a rare, progressive and highly aggressive degenerative disease. It is caused by the ...

The tiny protein known as transthyretin can cause big problems in the body when it misfolds after secretion. While healthy transthyretin moves hormones through blood and spinal fluid, misfolded ...

Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a condition where protein (called amyloid) builds up in the brain, making blood vessels ...

Prof. Liu Cong from the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with collaborators, has revealed the high-resolution structures of amyloid fibrils directly ...

For some time, we've known that it's rare to see people with both cancer and Alzheimer's disease. Now, scientists believe ...

Amyloid fibrils appear in many neurodegenerative diseases, and scientists are eager to understand how they form and spread. But amyloids—clumped aggregations of misfolded proteins—can be difficult to ...

A protein notorious for its role in Alzheimer’s disease may hold the key to supercharging the aging immune system, according to new research. Scientists have found that a byproduct of amyloid-beta ...

The pursuit of a cure for Alzheimer's disease is becoming an increasingly competitive and contentious quest, with recent ...
