Limitations of the three putative mechanisms of amyloid fibril assembly for explaining Sup35 prion formation have led to the introduction of a fourth model — nucleated conformational conversion ...
Amyloid fibrils have been targeted in a variety of neurodegenerative diseases. The amyloid cascade hypothesis, on which many modern Alzheimer's treatments are based, presumes that these fibrils ...
A collaborative research group has uncovered a new mechanism in the growth of amyloid β (Aβ ... (HS-AFM), the team was able to observe Aβ fibril growth at the molecular level in real time.
