Amyloid in a sentence as a noun

Alzheimer's brains have a higher rate of amyloid.

Last I checked, it wasn't clear whether the amyloid plaque buildup was a cause or side effect of Alzheimer's. Has the understanding of this changed in the past four years?

You can find lots of papers on this if you search for "epigallocatechin gallate amyloid" on Google scholar.

This edition also has articles titled "T Time" and [amyloid] "Beta testing" .

This fits with the metabolic collapse and with the fact that amyloid beta spreads to nearby cells and propagates the collapse.

There is some questions whether amyloid plaques are good indicators of Al Zheimer or not, and this will need to be validated in the future.

The linked study demonstrated that injecting amyloid into one part of the mouse brain caused more amyloid to appear in another part.

As someone with a bit more knowledge in the field, can you help inform me: I thought the consensus was that beta amyloid was a second order effect of Alzheimers.

I hate to be a negative nancy, but for most of these diseases I'm not convinced the answers are in the biophysical properties of amyloids.

Amyloid in a sentence as an adjective

All they have demonstrated is the vacine is creating an immunogenic response against beta-amyloid.

In this sense, the amyloidosis was "transmitted".The prion-like behavior mentioned is the ability of prions to do something similar.

In a study by Johnson et al., widespread tau and beta-amyloid deposition was found in the brains of individuals who suffered a single traumatic brain injury.

Bredesen believes the amyloid beta peptide, the source of the plaques, has a normal function in the brain – as part of a larger set of molecules that promotes signals that cause nerve connections to lapse.

But politics and money typically do not dictate scientific results, as evidenced by the failure of the amyloid-targeted trials mentioned in the article.

This induction precedes a rapid decline in brain amyloid, an increase in plaque-clearing microglia, and improvements in cognitive performance.

There is no evidence that aluminum causes Alzheimers. Some early studies indicated a very faint correlation at the population level between aluminum in brain tissue and alzheimers. Some of those studies explicitly noted the likelihood that amyloid plaques were incidentally prone to aluminum accumulation, meaning that Alzhiemers might aluminum buildup, not the other way around.

Much of their work today is not just in producing research progress, but laying the groundwork for the next twenty years of work: the people who build the applied technologies of mitochondrial repair, biomedical remediation of amyloid and AGEs, rejuvenation of the lysosome, and so forth, are in college today.

Probably in the ur-times, early proteins, which were likely overwhelmingly hydrophobic[4] aggregated as amyloids as an easy, thermodynamically favorable, self-assembling superstructure, that is regulateable merely by producing to concentrations above the critical concentration.
