An illustration depicts cells in an Alzheimer’s-affected brain, with abnormal levels of beta amyloid protein clumping together to form plaques that collect between neurons and disrupt cell function.

The researchers targeted a specific exon coding for an amino acid sequence within a protein that gets cleaved to form amyloid-beta, which accumulates to form plaques on neurons in the brain as the ...

Isolated mRNA was used for RNAseq analysis and qPCR. Effects of alcohol on phagocytosis were determined by uptake of oligomeric amyloid beta. RESULTS: Alcohol induced nitrite production in control ...

Unlike amyloid-beta plaques, another characteristic of ... biochemical and molecular biology techniques to identify a core sequence of tau protein, called tau258-368, which is crucial for NFT ...
