  1. Galectin-3 promotes Aβ oligomerization and Aβ toxicity in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Cell death and differentiation 2019-05-24 Biomarkers

    Amyloid-β (Aβ) oligomers largely initiate the cascade underlying the pathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  2. Acetylcholinesterase promotes beta-amyloid plaques in cerebral cortex

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neurobiology of aging 2003-10-01 Biomarkers

    Studies in vitro have suggested that acetylcholinesterase (AChE) may interact with beta-amyloid to promote deposition of amyloid plaques in the brain of patients with Alzheimer's disease.

  3. Alpha-1-antichymotrypsin promotes beta-sheet amyloid plaque deposition in a transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience 2001-03-01 Biomarkers

    Alpha(1)-antichymotrypsin (ACT), an acute-phase inflammatory protein, is an integral component of the amyloid deposits in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and has been shown to catalyze amyloid beta-peptide polymerization in vitro.
