  2. 1. Cellular Uptake of Amyloid Forming Proteins Related to Neurodegenerative Disease

    Author : Emelie Vilhelmsson Wesén; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Aβ 1-40 ; flow cytometry; confocal microscopy; SH-SY5Y; fluorescence; Aβ 1-42 ; Alzheimer’s disease; amyloid fibril; α-synuclein; amyloid-β;

    Abstract : Aggregation and deposition of disease-associated protein is a pathological hallmark of several human disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD). These diseases are characterized by the formation of amyloid-β (Aβ) and α-synuclein (α-syn) amyloid fibrils, in extracellular and intracellular locations, respectively. READ MORE

  4. 2. NMR studies on interactions between the amyloid β peptide and selected molecules

    Author : Anna Wahlström; Astrid Gräslund; Göran Karlsson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Amyloid β peptide; Alzheimer s disease; Aggregation; Oligomer; Amyloid; Interaction; Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy; Circular Dichroism Spectroscopy; Thioflavin T; Detergent; Congo red; Affibody; Cyclodextrin dimer; Metal ion; Chemistry; Kemi; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Biophysics; biofysik;

    Abstract : Alzheimer’s disease is an incurable neurodegenerative disorder linked to the amyloid β (Aβ) peptide, a 38-43 residue peptide. The detailed molecular disease mechanism(s) is (are) unknown, but oligomeric Aβ structures are proposed to be involved. READ MORE

  5. 3. Spectroscopic studies of dynorphin neuropeptides and the amyloid beta-peptide : The consequences of biomembrane interactions

    Author : Loïc Hugonin; Astrid Gräslund; Bernard Lebleu; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biophysics; Biofysik; Biophysics; biofysik;

    Abstract : Dynorphin A, dynorphin B and big dynorphin are endogenous opioid neuropeptides. They play an important role in a wide variety of physiological functions such as regulation of pain processing and memory acquisition. Such actions are generally mediated through the κ-receptors. READ MORE
