The Aβ oligomer hypothesis for synapse failure and memory loss in Alzheimer's disease
ST Ferreira, WL Klein - Neurobiology of learning and memory, 2011 - Elsevier
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the 3rd most costly disease and the leading cause of dementia.
It can linger for many years, but ultimately is fatal, the 6th leading cause of death …

Soluble Aβ oligomers inhibit long-term potentiation through a mechanism involving excessive activation of extrasynaptic NR2B-containing NMDA receptors
In Alzheimer's disease (AD), dementia severity correlates strongly with decreased synapse
density in hippocampus and cortex. Numerous studies report that hippocampal long-term …

Interaction between prion protein and toxic amyloid β assemblies can be therapeutically targeted at multiple sites
DB Freir, AJ Nicoll, I Klyubin, S Panico… - Nature …, 2011 - nature.com
A role for PrP in the toxic effect of oligomeric forms of Aβ, implicated in Alzheimer's disease
(AD), has been suggested but remains controversial. Here we show that PrP is required for …

Misfolded protein aggregates: mechanisms, structures and potential for disease transmission
I Moreno-Gonzalez, C Soto - Seminars in cell & developmental biology, 2011 - Elsevier
Some of the most prevalent human degenerative diseases appear as a result of the

Binding of the molecular chaperone αB-crystallin to Aβ amyloid fibrils inhibits fibril elongation
The molecular chaperone αB-crystallin is a small heat-shock protein that is upregulated in
response to a multitude of stress stimuli, and is found colocalized with Aβ amyloid fibrils in …
