| This, in fact, is direct evidence supporting the model of amyloids as waterfilled nanotubes. |
|
| That approach could theoretically be used to treat conditions like Alzheimer's: the beta amyloids that accumulate in the brain are thought to weaken synaptic connections, and, in so doing, inactivate certain memories. |
|
| Anat Frydman-Marom and Carsten Sachse looked at protein fragments known as beta amyloids, which are regarded as the primary cause of Alzheimer's disease. |
|
| In Alzheimer's disease, you get lots of big sticky balls of amyloid-beta, made up of many individual amyloids, which latch on to brain neurons. |
|
| Desmin is a protein that forms structural filaments in heart muscle cells, while amyloids are misshapen lumps of protein deposited in tissues. |
|
| Thus, some amyloids that are typically systemic in some patients may form only localized nodules or affect only a single organ in others. |
|
| The amyloids go into fibers known as curli that are extruded by the bacteria to strengthen the structures of biofilms. |
|
| Some of the proteins that form amyloids in the urine also appeared in the placentas of women with preeclampsia. |
|
| Amyloids are abnormal proteins that can collect as deposits in parts of the body and are the most obvious physical manifestation of the disease. |
