Abstract excerpt
Amyloid-β (Aβ) is a peptide formed by 39-43 amino acids, heterogenous by the length of its C-terminus. Aβ constitutes a subnanomolar monomeric component of human biological fluids; however, in sporadic variants of Alzheimer's disease (AD), it forms soluble neurotoxic oligomers and accumulates as insoluble extracellular polymeric aggregates (amyloid plaques) in the brain tissues. The plaque formation is controlled...
