The role of clearance mechanisms in the kinetics of toxic protein aggregates involved in neurodegenerative diseases

Abstract:

The deposition of pathological protein aggregates in the brain plays a central role in cognitive decline and structural damage associated with neurodegenerative diseases. In Alzheimer’s disease, the formation of Amyloid-beta plaques and neurofibrillary tangles of the tau protein is associated with the appearance of symptoms and pathology. Detailed models for the specific mechanisms of aggregate formation, such as nucleation and elongation, exist for aggregation in vitro where total protein ma...
